The best example of this has to be Haiti. How could any sane person spend time in that country. Then come to the conclusion that we could make a change for the better. It's amazing the millions of dollars and resources Haiti received during the Clinton years. After the main power plant was finished and providing power to the capital. Providing jobs to the locals. It was turned over to the Haitian Govt. It was immediately stripped and the metal sold for scrap. This wasn't out of control looting by criminals. It was a planned community event.
I am sure to this day we are providing assistance to these very same people. I been in some crappy places before. Haiti was by far the worse. What made it so bad compared to others. The people weren't torn by war and disease. They aren't isolated from the west or primitive. They just have no desire to live. If breathing required effort they would all die.
Saw a pallet of food supplies rotting and being ripped apart by dogs because no one would break it down. Before I found out about the one fenced off area by the Beach. I thought my parents were crazy when they told me their cruise ship stopped in Haiti.
