Our aid has helped plenty. We end up creating town drunks who are in charge of handing out the money, and make all of the women sleep with him before payment. We also send giant shipments of free food to agrarian cultures, pricing all the farmers out of business. Then we help shut down the sweatshops, which was were the good jobs were–easier work and better pay than their primitive farming. Not to say that they are blameless victims. Warlords who spend their time tearing up farms and laughing at their tears wikk destroy a place. Being the rape capital of the world can't help either.
