Wapi Project

 * ... that the Wapi Project was a victim of its own success?
 * ALT1:... that the Wapi Project was aimed at a hostile Lao Theung populace in a rich rice growing area?
 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Market Basket protests
 * Comment: The common mental picture of a foreign aid program is that of a richer country beginning a program in a poorer one. In this case, the idea stemmed from the poor country of Laos during its civil war; when the U.S. pitched in, its main contributors were the Central Intelligence Agency and USAID. To top it all off, the project was too successful to survive.
