--- Quote from: ChadTower on August 24, 2005, 10:08:59 am ---I mean, is telling them NOT to fund militias and to ACTUALLY feed people with our money so much to ask? --- End quote --- I totally agree with that. But when I referred to strings attached I was talking about political strings. For example the US has increased 'aid' to Pakistan because it has helped in the fight against Al-Queda. Nothing wrong with that. In fact it often makes good economic and diplomatic sense to pay other people to fight our battles instead of doing it ourselves. But what I object to is the term 'aid' which implies genuine altruism and charity. The amount of genuine aid that the US gives is minuscule. |

Charity and altriusm imply charity and altruism. If it were charity, they could call it charity. |

Stingray? What's right wing about what I said? All I said was that we are a little stronger than some of you are giving us credit for. Where do you live in the south? When did you move here? --- Quote ---The amount of genuine aid that the US gives is minuscule. --- End quote --- Minuscule? In what way? I don't see any problems with China's military. I kinda agree that they wouldn't send an Army out just to kick our ass. They don't have the drive to do that. After all, they have the largest population anywhere. I'm sure they don't need our problems, they have enough on their own. The problem I see is they will overtake the free markets. Flood products and shut down industry in the west. That's a major concern. At my plant we have to compete with prices from China. They are infiltrating our infrastructure with economic clout. |

They don't need our problems, they need our natural resources and space. You'd think they would see Canada as the best place to get those things. |
