Hi Leon

Just put down "Lines in the Sand" by Anne Devenson. A novel but it also makes
you think about the politics of international aid. Have a read if you spot a
copy.

Hang on <glance> ISBN 0-14-029318-3 Penguin paperback 

It also connects back to Chomsky's argument about invisible deaths in
Afganistan from starvation after the official photojournalist war ends.  

I know, I know .. more OT .. I wasn't going to join this fray :-)
