Just slightly off topic but, has the IMF ever done anything to help poor nations? What is it, exactly that they do (give loans that they know can never be paid back?) that helps our societies and cultures around the world?

I've never read a single news article that was positive about the IMF and I remember how GWB and his crew used it like their own piggy bank for 8 years.
