Cynics Proved Right

The head of Sri Lanka's presidential task force, Tilak Ranavirajah, has criticised the country's relief effort. Five weeks after the tusnami disaster, corruption and incompetence has left 70% of affected Sri Lankan's without aid. This is without considering the areas under the control of the Tamil Tigers. Aid has been disappearing and relief camps have served rotten food.

I don't know how many people are surprised by this. It is a problem of over governed and bureaucratic societies. We can only give our money and hope some of it trickles down to the right people.

The cynics are proved right.
