That's fantastic but why don't you suggest an alternative? Disgusting that you would have a problem with a financial incentive to help starving people on the grounds that ooohhhh, it's all going to the warlords.
Why don't you acknowledge that sure ... some of the money might be corruptly misdirected but the aim of it is to "help" poorer nations, and prevent death by starvation?
Can I question your syandards? Do you have a problems with your government giving handouts to farmers with zero production in your country ruined by 10+ years of drought? Why not let them rot.
Or can I take the same stance and sit back and laugh at Australia's ongoing desertification and drop to 40% of it's original annual wheat output. But sure, if you can't support yourselves I'll sit back and laugh when you rely on China's imports. Or would that be considered racist too?
How's the hosepipe ban going down there? Or as they say ........ Got water? Any end to that drought. It's only been ..... remind me how many years now?

The NSW Government has committed more than $500 million in assistance measures since the drought began in 2002 and will continue to support farmers until the drought breaks.

That's one hell of a drought.

Just simply explain to me why you would have no issues with your government throwing money at farmers in your country to help them combat warming yet you have a huge problem with governments of other countries trying to help people in Africa do the same?
