I have to go with Arizona Sun on this....it is "wasted" money if it is well known that local and national "officials" will take the lion share of it. Particularly when the money is taken to support the very leaders/troops that are oppressing the people. This has been an ONGOING problem with a great deal of foreign aid. Countries make themselves feel good by reporting all the money they give to poor nations - but leave out the fact that the very money they donate is actually financing the regimes that are making the nation poor in the first place.
