While America’s standing in the Middle East couldn’t get much lower, you wouldn’t know it looking at the U.S. foreign aid budget. Of proposed U.S. assistance for 2012, almost two-thirds is earmarked for Muslim nations and one-third goes to Arab countries.
Yet, despite those billions in aid, opinion polls show most Arab citizens still have an unfavorable view of America and most Muslim nations routinely vote against U.S. interests in the United Nations.
“If we are giving money to countries consistently voting against our interest, we ought to cut them off,” says Congressman Steve Chabot (R-OH) who sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “But Congress is going to need to get some backbone here because it consistently gives Presidents the ability to waive the cutoff of that money.”…’
Why is the West giving money to Arab countries who’ve made trillions from us in oil revenues? Why are we giving money to primitive fuckers who would kill us without blinking? Who regard us as an inferior form of life even as they benefit from all the technical advances of the West?
Cut it off. Now. And leave the bastards to sink into their backward swamps. Not one Western government has ever held a referendum asking their own long-suffering taxpayers if they agree to giving foreign aid. And not one politician to my knowledge has ever run for office on a promise to end it. Why not?
