I would make it a requirement that we provide food, not money. And I would make certain the food came from American farmers, shipped on American ships and distributed by American relief organizations.

Fat chance. It's not the liberal way. Liberals want to ‘do something’ not solve problems. Of course there are true liberals who go to the lands and risk life and limb to provide help, but they are the exception. Sadly, the easy way out taken by the pseudo-liberal is to send money and all that does is make it harder on the true liberals who in the field doing the hands-on labor. The true liberal is seen as a threat to the dictator who wants the money that was sent by the pseudo-liberals and has no problem killing the true liberal to get it.

I don’t agree with food aid. I read an interview with an african farmer in WSJ. He basically said, “You can’t compete with free.”
