kallend 2,146 #26 August 28, 2008 QuoteQuoteYeah, we sent so much help to stop the genocide in Darfur didn't we? So because we havent done shit in Darfur, which bothers me a lot BTW, that means we haven't done shit anywhere else? Quote Total U.S. aid to Israel is approximately one-third of the American foreign-aid budget, even though Israel comprises just .001 percent of the world's population and is not among the poorest (or even close). Ok. It's still foreign aid. Where does the other two thirds go? How much foreign aid do your beloved Russia and Iran send out? . If Russia and Iran are beloved of me, then I guess Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy are your beloveds.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

So aid doesn't matter because 1/3 goes to Israel? I haven't looked that up, just taking your word for it. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

gemini 0 #28 August 28, 2008 The latest complete AID summary I can find was a CRS Report from 2004 -2005 which lists US Aid Recipients (Most to Least) as: Iraq (2004) Israel (2005) Egypt Afghanistan Colombia Jordan Pakistan Liberia Peru Ethiopia (Includes Special Aids Pandemic Assistance) Bolivia Turkey Uganda (Includes SAPA) Sudan (Includes SAPA) Indonesia Kenya (includes SAPA) Not include above is emergency humanitarian relief efforts which are not budgeted, food assistance programs, and military assistance programs.
