One wouldn't spend USD300 billion on "defense" if it wasn't afraid, would it?

I am the one who proposes spending greenbacks -the USD60billion calculated as the cost of Iraq's war- in an scheme which allow every Iraqi adult (who could prove he was living there for at least one year) to receive USD3.700 if they topple Saddam in 48 hours.

But the biggest recipients of us 'aid' are Egypt and Israel. Most of it military aid. Just look what is happening there.

No. I don't take Brazilian upper classes as evidence. Brazilians have only formalities to fulfill to enter in the US and don't take the US serious. So they continue going there as usual. I mean Asians of any origin. Those are the bulk of people who help the US universities cost lower to the locals since they pay much more in tuition than the locals do. Those are the ones seeking UK and Aussie universities.

CONCLUSION: The US is working against their own self interest with these job-for-the-boys scheme called defense, internal or otherwise.
