Does anyone besides me find Zimbabwe's plea for food ironic and disingenuous?

Uganda was "The Pearl of Africa" until Idi Amin got involved. And so it goes. Yes, the leader asking for help is disingenuous . . . or crafty. My problem is that the citizens there starve unless someone else helps, but if someone else helps, this one who took over at the point of a gun gets to have it both ways. The citizens protest, but get shot for the effort. Someone else sends in food, which then feeds his army. When the star of the movie The Wall organized "Band Aid," much money was raised for Ethiopian famine relief. When the food showed up, it was hijacked by the government and given to its army. The citizens still died. Things like this will make a one-world government look attractive because folks really would like to go into a place like that and shoot all the criminals. But the real answer is that we are humans, and as long as humans are running things, things will go badly.
