Just in case you think that I'm anti-American, which I'm not, let me state here and now that I don't fault American foreign aid programs. Yes, some of them are misguided - as are the aid programs of many countries - but they are rarely, if ever, deliberately used to hurt other people. American aid, as Ted said above, is often in the form of a non-returnable "loan". America has given away many billions of dollars over the years, and many parts of the world are better for it. Perhaps some suffer, like the Bangladeshis. But be that as it may, not even in my most paranoid moments would I consider that the well-digging program was designed to poison people. The intent was good, the execution well done, but the outcome was unforeseen.
