You break it you buy it. You can't run around dismantling nations and not expect to rebuild, otherwise you're just asking for severe blowback.
If you don't like it don't push for idiotic wars.
True enough.
However, how was somalia our fault? What about Gaza? We didn't create Israel that rests upon the shoulders of England and France above all others. We are guilty of over indulging Israel. Bottom line is Israel destroyed the gaza strip not us.
Why do we spend Billions on Mexico? Africa? Or any of the many other pork causes that we chase?

That's off topic, the thread isn't about foreign aid generally, it's about foreign aid spent in Iraq.

Read the title,
the thread is about "Rebuilding another nation"
anything that has to do with the US government sending money to another country to fix their problems is part of the topic in this thread.
WASHINGTON -- The new Iraqi government will need about $50 billion in additional aid to rebuild the country's oil facilities and electrical grids to prewar levels, the US government's top auditor told Congress yesterday. And he warned that the United States is likely to have to pay the vast majority of it.
The funds would be on top of the roughly $30 billion that the United States has already committed to rebuild the war-torn country since the March 2003 invasion -- most of which has been spent. The estimate is also in addition to the steadily rising cost of the American military deployment in Iraq, which has topped $300 billion, according to the latest government figures.
Well when your own country has no more money then spending more money you don't have would be considered "wasteful". Iraq has plenty of revenue from their oil fields. In fact they could be helping us they are so cash rich.
