1) Why give money to others now when our country experiences such economic recession? And, we need to borrow it first.
2) Why not cut all foreign aid for the next 3 years?
3) Why give money to people who hate us and will be glad to kill as many Americans as possible?
4) Why give money that is likely to be stolen and will not reach the needy?
5) Why give money that in part will be used to finance terrorist activities?

But, I can understand why folks would resent the expenditure.

We've been establishing footholds in the Middle East since the late 1930's. It's done nothing but **** them off each and every time.

We all know damn well that 1billion in aid is going straight to Iran for re-armament. How freaking stupid are we?

We should all be to the point of not giving a flying %$*^ what those people over there think. They've proven that as the rest of the people on Earth work to evolve as a species, they work to digress by means of violence and hatred.
