Your post mentioning MOAS struck a chord with me.

What I'm about to say may well be considered highly controversial but here goes.

I'm not in favour of all these "charities" interferring abroad. For a start they're a fine place for the very highly paid "officials" setting off on jaunts abroad and really, the charities are perpetuating what's going on "out there".

OK, so I feel sorry for those caught up in all sorts of conflicts but I don't see much effort on the parts of those living there to improve things themselves. They're often living in the stone age but although they have some "modern" things around them, they've done nothing about their own water supplies, drainage or sewage disposal. They've made no effort to make any sort of roadways and when you think back, the Romans had all that 2,000 years ago. It's time those people set to and tried a bit of self-help with the basics of life.
