So you'd rather do nothing than try and possibly fail?

I don't think anyone's suggesting pour money into the country and stand
back. It's going to take money and a lot of hard work. Probably more of the
latter than of the former. It's also going to take effort over a long period
of time. 15 years is probably a concervative estimate.

Education, good governance, sustainable farming practices, mining
technologies, entrepreneurship, etc. Handing out money then sitting back is
a recipe for absolute disaster. On the one hand it encourages corruption
(and there's anough of that around here anyway) and on the other it results
in people with a sense of entitlement, 'the world owes me a living' (and
there's a fair bit of that around here too)
