I agree with you completely. I was trying to point out additionally that the argument we don't help other nations with human rights problems is because those other nations haven't repeatedly attacked our and haven't made it their stated goal to use WMD to bring down the United States. That little tidbit seems to escape the notice of all too many.

I agree with your arguments as well. The euros spend less than 2% of their GDP on defense. Thats a sham.

So the US is bad when we dont help and bad when we do. Right.

We have the ME, LAtin america, China and Korea to worry about.

We even gave 15B for africa aids. Since the euros have more population, they should buck up at least 20b.

And dont get me started on how americans subsidize drug reseach for the rest of the world....
