Kidnapped UK Aid Worker Murdered

I think it is time to re-evaluate all foreign aid from a perspective of return on investment (both monetary and non-monetary).

Some good ole fashioned "what is the benefit for us?" thinking is what is needed.

We have people back in our respective countries that need aid too.

Pretty much what I'm beginning to think

I agree we better rethink aid. The thing is this gentleman worked for the RED CROSS/RED CRESCENT which is supposed to be neutral and work in every bloody country in the world. Maybe a "quarantine" is in order?
