Honestly what can be done? So often when the US has gotten involved in the past, the situation for the poor people ended up much, much worse.

You're right, it hasn't gone well in the past... per what I said to @carmencita, though, look who's been running the show when it comes to US involvement over the past few decades, at least. Maybe there's a better way to help, that doesn't involve deliberately corrupting those you help along the way? /shrug

This is exactly why I was so upset at Germany's Merkel and the UN for demanding Westerners take in so many refugees. Real refugees are eternally grateful for any relief from suffering. They would never rape the children of their host. The babies and kids of Yemen are the real refugees. Worse they're the type of victims that so often fall prey to child traffickers.

Don't have much to say there except, "Yurp, a sorry state of affairs indeed"
