UN-organized shipments were "distributed" by forces with loyalties to this or that warlord. Care to venture a guess on who didn't get fed? That's right, move to the head of the class -- they starved the populations of the enemy-controlled area. We've seen that most recently in Syria, too, where Assad and the Russians have blocked or even attacked aid convoys.
Ugh, this is horrible! There are just so many evil people in the world. I just don't get it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
