I cannot beleive how much money goes out to the Arab/Islamic countries that oppose the US at almost every turn. We pour billions into foreign economies for foreign economic stability, and to enhance our own economic prospects. These countries must be laughing all the way to the bank.
Perhaps it is time re-evaluate, to get out of the UN and give tax savings back to the American workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice to pay all these federal taxes. Let these countries be on their own for a year or two, or permanently, and see how attitudes might change.

Below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations' records.

Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time.

Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time.

Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time.

US Foreign Aid to those that hate us:

annually in US Foreign Aid.

annually in US Foreign Aid.

India votes 81% against the United States receives $143,699,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.


...what a disgrace...no wonder
the world has no respect for us!

The Marshall plan does not work with Islamic regimes. They take your money in the front door and plan your demise in the back room. It's a cultutal thing with Muslims and they see nothing wrong with it. I would cut off the aid yesterday.

Your right Sky-Guy, no bang for the buck.

Regarding the current quagmire in the middle east, I think its time for the US to broker a deal for a separate Palastine State. The US needs to quit taking a one sided approach, favoring Israel. The common thread of the different Islamic groups is that they see the US as Israel.

Does this mean we have to buy friends??? Maybe to get to the bottom of this we should ask ourselfves why are these counties not helping us willingly? and what should we do about it?
