KT, 100 billion for a country of just 23 million or so would not have cut it on pure humanitarian reasons, in my view -- I think there are much more compelling uses of that money when framed in those terms. Some bleeding heart liberals might even get the nasty idea that, if 100 billion was lying around for humanitarian uses, it might even be used in the impoverished areas of American or to provide health care for poor children or to rebuild ten thousand schools. No, American's needed a few orange alerts and falsified evidence and a 10-month diet of terrifying headlines and news coverage so that they would fear for their lives first. Some student in the UW paper actually said if SH wasn't "caught" that it would be scary because he's so dangerous. I mean, really! It's not like SH was drafting "Patriot II" or anything...
