I agree with the article and I admire the Heritage Foundation. But I must say that while I agree we should not fund any enemies or terrorist organizations, it is a complicated business. Take the current war - we are dropping food. On one hand it makes sense to try to win the hearts and minds of the people on the street. But even if they get the rations, (not intercepted by our enemies) will they really change their minds about the US and the West? Undoing years of hate teaching will take time. And even when we try to make certain that any new regine we support is more decent than the one before it - new regimes can change their stripes. Unfortunately, many times the good we try to do comes back and bites us. I would say that is the way of the world. But I support the continuing efforts we make, as a nation and as a people, to try and do our best as best we can.
