Dammit! No, not on wine. Single malts are my tipple. But I hadn't even had one when I wrote that!!!

Re: Famine in Africa

The aid can't be sent by itself as it will all be stolen by government forces.
The Sudanese government doesn't care if its people die ( after all it's has done ever its best to exterminate a large part of the population )

So here is a moral conflict get charged for bringing in aid or don't bring in aid at all.

How about condoms? Millions of free condoms?

Would the government forces steal them?
