We continue to donate overseas aid on a vast scale. Remember the Sunami, millions and millions were donated. Where did it go?? I for one gave fairly generously but have never heard where it went. Before we interfered in Africa The various tribes regulated their own populations and some are still doing it. We have famines out there but so many more children are now surviving than before,and it is not unusual to see a babe in arms a couple of toddlers and the woman pregnant again. Rhodesia used to feed a large part of Africa but not since it became Zimbabwe. It makes me wonder if we will ever learn to leave people to their own devices. We see thousands of so called refugees fleeing Syria,many of them young men. Any young bloke should,if he has anything about him,be fighting either for Assad or the rebels to sort the country out,instead of legging it.
I am sorry for the families but once they manage to get out of Syria they should in the first safe country they get to.
