"Sometimes foreign aid money is well spent (goodwill, political influence, etc), but giving it to a muslim country is a waste."


You've gotta be kidding. Goodwill? Political Influence? When has a single dime of American tax hand-outs ever gotten one iota of goodwill from those who benefit? And the Political influence is ALWAYS a one way street here, Our politicians are influenced by foreign lobbyists. Politicians from other countries don't benefit the US at all. On the other hand, our policies DO affect others, and they want to buy our legislation as much as they can to benefit themselves.(Especially if they can get the extra benefit of the US hurting itself along the way.)
