It's better to look stupid than to really be stupid. The "international

concerned by the problem.

The day they no longer have money to import food, the "international
community"won't help them more than they now help Africa, half of Asia, half
of Latin America to feed their people.

You're talking about the international government ? I don't remember voting,
when was the last election ? Who is the president/prime minister/king ? They
have a political program or what ?
