Time played off Cain’s question, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” (Genesis 4:9), by asking, “What if my brother already has a keeper, one who has a gun and who claims the right to decide whether my brother will get any of the food I send him?” Time quoted a U.S. relief administrator’s complaint about Ethiopia’s Marxist leaders: “By forcing farmers who do grow more than they consume to sell to the state at prices below the cost of production, they are not providing the incentive to produce the maximum that the land, however poor, would yield.”
Time also noted comments by Rony Brauman of the French charitable organization Doctors Without Borders: “The aid Ethiopians need is diplomatic pressure, not food. If we have a duty, it is to pressure the government to change its policies. Otherwise, in two or three years, we’re going to see the same bodies, the same TV footage.”
And yet, when we look at today’s footage of starving children, it affects us far more than a thousand vehement words, however true. We want desperately to do something, anything, to help. If there is a chance of support getting through, we want to try. Some negative elements creep into our thought as well: If we do not do something, anything, we feel guilty. Or perhaps the subjective act of giving is vital in itself. Is it the thought that counts?....
