I believe you said something along the lines of the extremist groups wouldn't be attacking if aid was being sent to their people, and me countering that they would be attacking any aid sent by the West.
That's not what I said lol.
What I said is that we stop going on the offensive, they'll no longer have a good reason (good obviously being suggestive) to attack us. My point is that to the people who live in that area, we look like the bad guys. We're the invaders, we don't speak the language, we don't like their culture, etc. So when the Taliban acts a fool they can point a finger at us. Whereas, if all we do is shit like sending aid, and they attack us anyway, it makes them look like assholes. That's what I was saying.

The power of love is the most powerful force in the universe. It turns men like Frank Castle into mass murderers. No doubt the unicorns and pixies seek to access its incredible power as a weapon of mass destruction.

I've already covered this with many people lol. We're in a depression, not recession and we haven't gotten out of anything. Mainstream economists are stupid. So is Obama's staff.

This is why we don't pay for the aid. If we pay people to go there, we are paying them to go to their deaths without even a gun in their hands.
The only people we CAN send our soldiers, and they still die sometimes.
