This talk of generally ending all aid is silly and doesnt account for many of the uses of such aid.
Giving hand-outs to nations that can do for themselves, and allowing fraud or waste, should and must at least diminish, but ideally end.
If foreign aid is helping to build or rebuild roads, schools and hospitals and other things that allow development and encourage self-sustainment, I dont see why that should end.
On a side note-
I have noticed an increase in the uneducated and prejudice assaults on the U.N.s humanitarian efforts, This is dissappointing. It seems to me that many folks miss the forest because of a few trees. Its a fact that a symptom of poverty- hunger, and the key effect of malnutrition associated with it, kills millions around the world, many children every year.
Collectively, we are perfectly capable of making enough food to healthily feed everyone. I cannot fathom why anyone would see this as a an unworthy goal.
