I read that in 2002 Americans nagged how The frequent complaints about United States policy seldom mention that Washington provided more humanitarian aid than any other country to the people of Afghanistan. Is this accurate?

    Aid doesn’t count when you send it with an invasion force.

    Furthermore, USAID is a cutout for the CIA to fund bribes, insert assets and set up in-country operations. Same as the NED.

    Foreign aid in general tends to hurt the countries that it is sent to in the long run. This is not because helping is bad. It is due to how aid is given. When it is given as food stocks it puts local farmers out of work, lowering the productivity of the nation in the long run. When you send tractors and tools to impoverished peoples along with training, it allows them to build their productive forces in the long run so they can develop out of poverty.

    If you want a better and more thorough explanation, read the works of Thomas Sankara, the leader of socialist Burkina Faso(eng. Burkina People Stand Up—coolest country name).
