i've been called worse. and no, much of the funding doesn't go where it was intended. kind of like how the u.n. oil for food program worked out. not very well from what i remember...

and no, we don't have to impose our ideals...we don't have to send money either. i just think we ought to get more bang for our buck. there for a while, afganistan was our #1 recipient of foreign aid-the last few years before we invaded after 9-11.
