Is Aid Bad for Africa?

Canada's Globe and Mail carried an article over the weekend under the headline, "Is humanitarian aid bad for Africa?":

a growing number of humanitarian and development experts – including former true believers – argue that aid money frequently prolongs wars, props up dictators, impedes democracy, aids oppression and stifles human rights

The article raises some points similar to those explored by Philip Gourevitch in a New Yorker article we mentioned here earlier.
