Food aid to Zimbabwe?

Bzzzt. Wrong on two points:
1) I said "major act"... I don't think we committed a lot to Zimbabwe, certainly nothing on the scale of the Marshall plan.
2) Giving aid to Zimbabwe is at least partially in self interest because it makes the U.S. look good.

My question was a trick question, because I believe there's no such thing as a completely selfless act. Even a completely humanitarian gesture makes the individual who's committing it feel good, and elevates that person's image amongst others. Some acts are more selfish than others, of course, but my point with the Marshall plan is it was one of the more selfless. From what I've read, Marshall himself didn't design it to combat communism, but as it went through the legislative machine, that ended up being something that the average congressman (and his constituents) could latch onto.
