Yes, indeed!
Money talks, big-time!!!

Saddam's sons were located with the help of a bribe.
The Israelis regularly bribe "traitorous" Palestinians to help them thwart the enemy's plans (to save lives and destruction of property) and to locate individuals for assassination!

We hear so very often about the "generous" amounts of aid doled out by the US. The US could afford to give aid simply because the dollar is the world's reserve currency and so the US could easily print stacks and stacks of cash. But, of course, there will be a day of reckoning. Meanwhile, the value of the dollar and those of other currencies get diluted more and more overtime, and spiralling inflation becomes a way of life!

The prices of goods and services have been going up and up, albeit surreptitiously in a number of cases. To be sure, we are all being made to help pay for Uncle Sam's wars worldwide!
