The wretched people at the bottom of the pile are, no doubt, grateful but just how much do they see of aid? Those higher up,siphon it off and just laugh at us - they regard us as a soft touch and naive to the point of imbecility - why do you think so many foreigners flock to this country?
The only aid which can be justified is the help given to a country that suffers a totally out of the ordinary natural disaster.
