Jon, we send aid to a lot of countries, not just Israel. How do we determine what countries deserve it and which don't?
Israel was created by the Allies after WWII (WASN'T JUST US, LOL), so would it be fair to just throw them to the wolves surrounding them? HAY LOOK GUISE, HERE'S A COUNTRY FOR YOUS, GOOD LUCK WITH UR NEIGHBORS THAT H8 YOU!
I think one of the problems with the way we wage war is that politicians are scared to become demonized. After all of the terrible dictators throughout the last 100 years, plus the failed attempts at fighting the Commies, they are simply afraid to go all in and do what is needed to 100% end threats against us. There is too much hope that we can make people like us by throwing money at them, or saying nice things, or trying to get the UN to step in and write a letter, but the truth is that there are nasty people out there who know nothing more than to destroy anything that is better than them.
Instead of having an inferiority complex and trying to burn the planet to the ground one RPG at a time, how about they try to better their life rather than end it? Oh wait, those people immigrate to the U.S....
I wonder why.
