The Live Aid criticism is salient

5 Embarrassing Failures History Class Turned Into Victories | Cracked.com: "Now, when another government gives foreign aid to an impoverished country like Ethiopia, the donor government can set conditions, and enforce them. If you blow the money on weapons to fight your civil war, you don't get any more money."

This is a point that flies in the teeth of GOP false logic. Only governments can back up the motives behind humanitarian impulses. It is simple and true and saying it is a liberation from centuries of false philosophy and posturing at the edges of tragedy. Cut to the governments or end up simpletons. Make them responsible. Make their power legitimate not dictatorial. This is a path of realism.
