Dear American Voter I read your post with interest as I was not aware of the amount of money we loan Israel. However, have you checked as to how much money we give to other countries ? I think we are one big check book. I know that Israel has been considered to be our only friend in a very hostile environment in the Middle East. Also, if these were loans they are more likely to be paid back than the other countries to whom we loan money and then forgive them the debt if they join us in a war... i.e. Iraq. We use money to do a lot of bribing as I see it. I wish we used it more judiciously as Bill Gates who has proposals submitted and then he and a committee sit down and adjudicate which charities to support and where his money will do the most good.
