Foreign aid is the greatest obstacle to economic freedom in Israel. -- the Jerusalem Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies
I'm of the opinion that there are better forms of "assistance" (joint military R&D, joint training exercises, etc.), than dependency-creating Foreign Aid.
Fact is, Welfare Dependency is never a good thing, either amongst Men or Nations.
Not for dependency. Give them a hand up so they can build better planes, tanks, mouse traps, whatever.
