And if those choppers show up with clean underwear when what the people need is clean water, or vice-versa, so what- the important thing is to get there first, so that we LOOK like we care. Sort of like the old approach to such things - just give a bunch of money to ineffective groups to dole out what looks like aid on camera. Or run into Somalia with humanitarian purposes in mind and get horribly involved in the politics by accident. Boy, at least we LOOKED like we cared back then eh?
