Also if you are on the ground in certain countries and find the "aid" is being used in a corrupt manner you are advised to keep your mouth shut unless you want to be swiftly flown out of there."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JR -
I agree with you mainly, in particular about payments in order to get trade and so on but there is a reasonable amount og humanitarian aid given especially to certain countries. What I can't abide is aid given to countries like India who should be able to look after themselves, if they can afford a large army, nuclear weapons, a space program, etc. then they should be able to afford rudimentary health care, education, etc. If you want to see who the recipients are then then just pop along to:Originally posted by OwlHoot View Post

Its actually quite interesting to think about it, when there is a disaster in a far flung country its automatically the western civilisations that start the aid ball and humanitarian relief started, you don't see many other civilisations doing that and you have to wonder why. Do you think India would send the UK aid if there was an earthquake in a major conurbation?
If you download the documents it does make quite interesting reading, such as the UK give aid to Argentina, oh and if you hover over some of the images in the PDF documents it shows the directory name of where the document originates
