If I give a third World country £1billion of aid for food, medication and new buildings.

Then that country can instead of spending its own money on Food, medication and new buildings have the choice of:


a) Sneak LOADS of money under the table and put it into my Swiss Bank account

B) Buy lots of guns, tanks and aeroplanes from me to kill their own people or sadly my soldiers, sailors and airmen!

I can look all my critics in the eyes and state how I have very kindly done the humanitarian thing and it was all for the greater good. They will never know about options a) or b) (Unless they subscribe to this thread)
