There are three rules of international politics that everyone on this board should always remember, and that President Bush probably keeps uppermost in his mind:

1. It is always better to be feared than loved.

2. People are no damn good.

3. No f*#&ing Good Deed goes unpunished.

Believe me, you're hearing this because the local pols are hearing the imams give the call for jihad against the American interlopers. I say publicly drop our goods on the beach, pull our troops out, publicly tell the Indonesians that we're going off to help people who actually appreciate the fact that we are helping thousands in need (such as the Sri Lankans, the Indians, and the Thais) and tell the ungrateful bastards that if the Toba Caldera goes off, Krakatoa acts up, or they get hit by an asteroid the size of city bus, they should ring up the f*%&ing Religion of Peace and leave us the hell alone.

Jesus, all we tried to do was our Christian duty (while the Religion of Peace couldn't even dig into the change purse, by the freaking way) to help others in need. Now we get the kick in the teeth?

Screw 'em.

Be Seeing You,

Agreed! Screw'em. Pull out all relief workers, and definitely pull out the troops, and cut off the cash today. At least the Thais and Indians appreciate the help, but I'm still a little ticked about Sri Lanka not allowing the Israelis in to help.

A good alternate approach:
Acknowledge there are lots of people in need, and help them. When corrupt pols insist aid workers leave, just point at the USS Abraham Lincoln and observe "we're here to help - and ain't nobody gonna stop us."
