There's always a risk with international aid as well. Anything that may involve the U.N.'s assistance is susceptible to a level of fraud. Oil for food is a good example. With internatioal aid you should first decide which groups you trust with the aid. I think it's a mistake to give nothing due to the fact that there is a rational fear that the funds won't reach those it's intended to help. There will always be risk but it's a risk that just has to be taken at times.Brandon Edsallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11591965910461122264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506692046597548695.post-50309446280601600922011-03-18T22:32:13.816-04:002011-03-18T22:32:13.816-04:00I don't mind giving to a local charity, you ca...I don't mind giving to a local charity, you can usually see your money at work but giving money on a large scale usually ends up in some ones pocket or bank account and not where it is actually needed. Dishonesty and greed is all around us, donations never seem to get where they are suppose to until after some ones pocket overflows. charlieCharlieBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837271837866804155noreply@blogger.com
