#1 What would possess ANY body to go to Somalia ( of all places ) to be an Aid Worker? ( Notice the article doesn't say where they came from or what the Aid institution was called or what it actually did in Somalia .) How do you say "Save the Sick Puppies " in French?
WHY was it so necessary to go to Somalia in the first place.?

Would YOU go to Somalia for any ANY reason? Not even if the UN said it was vitally NECESSARY and a really " good idea " ?

Other than being totally S.T.U.P. I. D., I mean?

( Have you ever noticed that ( on average ) the stupid don't live to be old?)

PLUS : its very difficult to feel sorry for the Stupid.

Well, oftentimes their motivation has absolutely nothing to do with.... "Aid."

Hence my comment about the apparatchiks. A young Euro man or woman can go work for the UN -- they get a salary, benefits, an expense account, a white Toyota Land Cruiser, and a houseboy or girl to suit their taste.

Or they can stay home in Europe, work on their second or third useless masters degree, and collect unemployment.

It's an easy choice.
