my frusteration with celebrities

DOes anyone else get frusterated with this? http://www.worldvision.org/about_us.nsf/child/eNews_africa_030706?Open&campaign=1316011&cmp=EMC-1316011 There's all these people starving over there when celebrities are getting paid millions of dollars to act stupid (or act very well) in front of the world for entertainment! Did you see that correctly.. yes i said MILLIONS. You know how much food that could provide for people in Africa? Is it so hard to sacrifice like one paycheck to starving children? Really? I'm sorry... its just irritating to read this kind of stuff and know that it doesnt have to happen because there really IS enough money and food in the world to prevent it.

Yes, there really IS enough money and food in the world to take care of everyone. The problem is that Africa is corrupt across the board. Corrupt African leaders steal about 80 cents out of every dollar of aid. In the last 40 years, it is estimated that they've funneled 140 billion dollars into their private bank accounts. Other regimes use food as a weapon. For instance, the Muslim government of Sudan has kept food aid away from Christian and animist tribes in the south. The only way to end the corruption is to topple these crooked governments. And the American left has shown they are too gutless to do what needs to be done.
