Done some recent reading and even I am amazed how many enemies we have helped developed. We taught Osama Bin laden our ways of fighting. And even helped fund him. I mean I knew this was always true but when you set and research some of this stuff and look at what we have done over the last 30 to 40 years and before what the h--- is wrong with our governing body presidents included . I hope some time we as American people wake up and vote against this any one that wants to help our enemies should be tried and convicted and sentenced to life. But will we I don't know. OK I'm done

Fortunately, or unfortunately, the American people historically have large generous hearts...on both sides of the "aisle". The question is whether we will allow that generosity bring about our own demise.

and all too often it has nothing to do with generosity of the American people and all to do with corporations providing the capabilities to our enemies with the blessings of those congress members who benefit from their contributions.

Don't want to upset the special interest or lobbyists and certainly don't want to upset the foreigners "seeking help".

But upset or water down the safety of the American people....not even a thought in their minds. Want proof? Just research the amount and types of weaponary that are being contracted to those who would shoot us in a heartbeat.

The other very stupid situation for the same reasons listed above are the weapons components critical to the US forces that are let out to foreign countries because of, supposedly cost. Now isn't that a completely riciculous premise in our spend into oblivion mode of operating?

btk

How about the US aiding the "freedom fighters" during the Russian incursion of Afghanistan? These "freedom fighters" are the Taliban that the US lost a lot of lives to in the current Afghanistan war.

It is not only making and training our own enemies but how about giving them arms, airpanes and nuclear weapons to use against us when they decide to turn.

It usually has nothing to do with generosity. It's all about corporations or money or energy or alliances. And so it goes.

Economics makes the world go round or lack of. Every one of our governing bodies should be thrown out

Persuasive, don't know how anyone could disagree with that!
