*L* Kev: Well since most third world folks seem to eventually want to kill us for some reason or another, just think of it as a preemptive strike. If they ain't born, they can't very well grow up and pick up a gun and shoot at us. Can't remember which movie it was from but I'll always remember the comedy bit where the nice guy hero sponsors a little orphan in some foreign country. The kid writes him an annual letter that always starts with " Dear running dog capitalist pig!" and goes on to list how when he grows up he's gonna join the revolution to destroy the U.S......Mel

Given that the United States is only staying afloat, financially, due to selling bonds to countries who are in better financial shape, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever that we're giving money to ANYone. Technically, that means that we're borrowing money (WITH INTEREST) in order to GIVE it away! It also means that when the US officially announces to the rest of the world that our economy is beyond the point of no return and has no ability or intent to repay it's debts, that all of this money we're giving away will actually have been given by the creditors of the US. At this late hour, this is just further proof that our government is completely irresponsible and disfunctional.
