I think what you are saying is that we need to get back to a balance with Israel as we have with England, two democracies. Israel has too much power with our government now.

$50 billion later, taking stock of US aid to Egypt Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak meets with President Bush Sunday in Crawford, Texas. By Charles Levinson \| Contributor to The Christian Science Monitor CAIRO – Amid fresh fighting by US forces in Iraq, Sunday's meeting between Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and President Bush at his Texas ranch serves as a reminder of America's deep involvement in this other key Arab nation. Aid is central to Washington's relationship with Cairo. The US has provided Egypt with $1.3 billion a year in military aid since 1979, and an average of $815 million a year in economic assistance. All told, Egypt has received over $50 billion in US largesse since 1975. ____________________________________________________- Top recipients of US aid each year Iraq - In 2004, it will become the largest recipient of US aid, receiving $18.4 billion. Israel - The largest recipient of US largesse in 2003, getting $2.1 billion in military aid annually; $600 million in economic aid. Egypt - Out of a US foreign aid budget of about $14 billion in 2003, Egypt was the second largest recipient with $1.3 billion in military aid; $615 million for social programs. Colombia - Got $540 million to battle the drug trade, and local terrorist groups. Jordan - Got $250 million in economic support; $198 in military financing. Peru, Ukraine, Russia - Received approximately $200 million each in economic and military aid annually.

Sudan voted 75% against the United States and received $1,121,000 in US Foreign Aid. (The US State Department stated that the Sudanese government is guilty of providing a safe haven for a variety of terrorist groups including Osama Bin Laden's organization, The Egyptian Jihad, The Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Hamas. The Islamic government has also conducted a literal reign of terror against the Christians living in the southern part of the country.) The Palestinian Authority will receive $500 million dollars in US Foreign Aid over the next five years(!) This happened due to the Oslo "Agreement" of 1993. Many Palestinians were seen on ABC News openly celebrating and dancing in the streets at the news of both suicide bombings on Sept. 11th. Israel, it must be noted, receives three billion in US Foreign Aid. However, for the last five years it has an average record of voting with the United States 94% of the time."The Palestinian Authority will receive $500 million dollars in US Foreign Aid over the next five years(!)
