Two points: 1) LBJ taught us that you can't solve severe sociological problems involving dysfunctional masses by throwing money their way. People have to
want to change!!! 2) Yea. We'll draw close to them, and then they'll detonate the explosives they've got strapped to their waists!!!

I think the best way to modernize Arab society is through nuclear energy.

The best way to modernize Arab societies would be through a free media, so the people have someone other than Al-Jazeera and Hezbollah feeding them news.
A blantantly pro-America media might work, too.

Personally, I prefer the solution suggested by Gen Curtis LeMay - bomb 'em back to the stone age.

Well the 100 million a year Clintoon's foundations sends to the Palestinian Authority for "school books" in the name of peace seems to be working fine, if you like genocide.
Just like a socialist, to repeat what has failed before to try to get it right this time.
Anybody doubt that this is another "get rich quick" democrat scheme? The more money flows, the easier to skim...

"Hope begins with a paycheck," he said. "And that requires a vibrant economy." Oh, sure. Let's make 'em richer! So they can buy more weapons, hire more scientists, and send their kids to Berkeley where they too can study nuclear physics, biochem, engineering -- and become good little jihadists lovers of Western democracy and apple pie. Just like their daddies did.
GET 'YER HEAD OUT, COLIN!

We already send them 1 billion per year. How is another 29 million going to make any difference?
It's time for the rich Saudi princes to start supporting their own nation, and we should tell them as much. Giving them money to kill innocent people doesn't count.

This is retarded its the richer arabs which commit terrorist acts. The oldschool poor beduins don't join Al Qaeda( in fact in Israel a lot of them serve voluntarily in the IDF). These subsidies will just end up subsidizing Wahabbi terrorism and indoctrination as sure as Saudi oil money( the education money is just going to go to Madrassas and "Islamic" schools you watch).

"I think the best way to modernize Arab society is through nuclear energy."I agree ... and we have this nifty little item that will make an ideal fixer-upper and clean-awayer ...
To: valkyrieanne
Do you think Powell gave this address and pledged these funds without the concent of the President? So then should the President resign too? Maybe he should, because he hasn't put forward a policy of bombing the Middle East back to the "stone age" or using the might of our military to kill all Muslims.

I think the best way to modernize Arab society is through nuclear energy.Is this how the majority of Conservatives think and feel, that Arabs should be exterminated from the world? If so, then I guess I'm no longer a Conservative, and George W. Bush must not be either.

Did anyone actually listen to Powell's remarks? It was about a lot more than just sending money over there. What would people suggest we do (besides using nukes to rid the world of all Arabs)?

Only solution--liberate the silenced self-interested masses by eliminating their corrupt and brutal autocratic leadership and indoctrination programs.
We need to use more assassination and less full-blown war. Those in power will soon learn what it takes to NOT get assassinated.
