I believe the UN even have formulas they use to calculate how much they need to send to take into account of corruption. I.e. people need 10m, + 2 dictators at 1m each = 12m needed.

SupraStar 3000 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Give a man a fish and he can feed his family for one day. Give a man a net and he can feed his family for a year. Give a man a AK47 and he can feed his family by stealing, raping and genocide. Live Aid! Give the poor people guns. You know it makes sense.
