Today guilt-ridden, foolish celebrities in Hollywood and elsewhere are
sickening in
their mawkish, pious and sanctimonious concern for the world's
impoverished nations and
suffering populations.And these leftist do-gooders are too ignorant
to be aware of Ludwig von Mises dictum that "It's
either capitalism or chaos for any nation and for world civilization.

In 1994 about one million people in Rwanda were murdered and butchered when
a brigade of well-trained and equipped troops could have prevented this
genocide.
But no one in the West did anything. At the time, Democrat Bill Clinton was
U.S. president,
Liberal Jean Chrétien was Canada's PM and the callous UN was living the good
life in New York City.

Now we have a whole host of celebrities who are going to "save" the world's
poor
with still more of other people's money. But it will not work. The great
free-market economist Lord Peter Bauer,
who has been marginalized, like F.A. Hayek, for his un-socialist, political
un-correctness,
noted how aid handouts to Third World nations were almost invariably
counter-productive.
"Such aid fed corruption and it tended to get the growth process upside down
concentrating on
large-scale infrastructure while ignoring the importance of sound markets,
private property rights
the rule of law and small enterprise". (Peter Foster, "Bono's and Bill
[Gates'] hands in our pockets).

"And yet such warnings are perpetually buried beneath the naive
redistributionism that arrives
with every new generation of do-gooders, and which is particularly popular
with the more cynical
professional redistributors and opportunists who populate governments, the UN
and other international agencies.
