If you pull the plug on your foreign aid, make no mistake: other powers will take up the slack[.] I'm sure, and that prospect doesn't bother me. Let other would-be superpowers pursue and enjoy the headaches, pain, and cost of global political tinkering and intervention. I, personally, would be more than happy if the U. S. government were to adapt what I'll an 'aggressively disinterested' foreign policy. LPS5

Actually, "aid" is a misnomer... You just don't "aid" foreign countries with US taxpayers' monies --you BRIBE them into falling into line with the US agenda. Likewise, France bribes her African client-states into supporting her own geopolitics --French-speaking African countries vote on UN resolutions as they're told by the Quai d'Orsay... After all, as you yanks put it, there's no free lunch --nor free aid. If you pull the plug on your foreign aid, make no mistake: other powers will take up the slack... Interesting perspective. Tom
