Re: Commentary on the Middle Eastern Problem

We send aid for the same reason we send it everywhere else. Influence.

LOL if foreign aid is used to buy influence, then we're really getting a bad deal on that.

Foreign Aid is all about influence. Some of it military, some of it political, some of it economic.

Honestly, we can't afford it and need to drastically downsize our foreign bases and operations.

We can't fix everything.

That being said, supporting Israel is a no-brainer.

Anyone who straps a bomb on his child and sends said child to be blown up for any reason is a savage.

Anyone who purposefully stages rocket launching platforms in civilian areas knowing full well that a military response would cause collateral damage is a savage.

Anyone who indiscriminately launches rockets against a putative "military occupation" but cares not about said rockets hitting schools, libraries, malls, hospitals or other civilian soft targets is a savage.

The truth hurts, my friend.
