If you read the OP we are not discussing individual aid, we are discussing aid in the form of loans - more specifically, the trend towards tying aid to economic and political reform even though it has failed in every case in the past. Even more to the point, there is a growing tendency to try to push these aid/loan packages through when people have been the victims of great tragedy and shock.
