Any country that harbors, train and back any transgressor to us should not get one red cent. The countries that are "true" allies to us not just for the funds, we should continue to help. We should immediately stop being the world police and send the message of swift retribution to anyone that attack us or our allies.

Our aid is an important foreign policy tool and can give us some leverage when applied judiciously. However, it's not showing to be very effective in these particular countries at advancing our interests abroad.

After the killing of the US Ambassador, we are done funding them and trying to help them establish a democracy. Not only money is being spent like crazy but also lives being lost because of it especially that their own government officials working with our troops that come out and kill our own troops. We are done helping the middle east and should leave there and let them fight for a democracy if they really want it like we did, we fought for our freedom from the British.

Our foreign policy, such as it is, has devolved into a muddle of wasted money, young lives sacrificed and legislatively unauthorized interventions. The best thing we can do for our country is to invest in it. We need to withdraw from the UN, stop all foreign aid and begin the monumental task of undoing the damage that years of neglect have caused here. If we must pay taxes, not one dime should leave this country nor should we continue to be a haven for refugees from the Middle East. Most Americans do not know of the "Immigration Lottery" which allows Middle Easterners to come here with less documentation than we need to get a passport. Tedious as it may be, every gover...

You wouldn't mortgage your house to give money to charity and you sure as hell wouldn't do it to give money to someone who has slapped you in the face or stabbed you in the back time and time again. Cut em all off and let Europe and Asia start taking responsibility for the stability of the countries in their collective backyard. If we spent half as much fixing Mexico as we do these countries who want to destroy us, it might kill 3-4 birds with one stone. Time for a more in depth cost/benefit analysis.

Most of the money we invest in foreign aid goes for humanitarian needs (except Israel, who we gave a shiny new air force and army). Although certain right-wing elements feel no obligation to help feed hungry American kids (see earlier posts regarding funding cuts for food stamps) I think cutting off food and medical assistance to poor nations because some among us don't like free speech that criticizes the USA is cruel and juvenile.

YES! Stop all funding, aid and support to nations that are protesting the USA, violating sovereign embassy territories, and threatening US citizens. Post a STRONG Navy and USMC presence in the immediate vicinity of these countries to protect our citizens and property. Minimize our diplomatic and military programs in these countries. Stop all sales of technology and military arms. Tell each country who has allowed attacks on our embassies that their embassies on US soil will not be provided any enhanced protection to stop retribution. When they all apologies, execute the murders, write us a check to rebuild and repair our embassies, we might consider going back.

We have infrastructure right here at home that needs work. Roads, bridges, parks. Our citizens are being told that there is no money for public works projects, and are being asked to pony up more in fees and taxes, while we send billions and billions to nations who's citizens do not like us or even respect us. Attacking our embassies is an act of war, and if the governments of the nations where it is happening cannot/will not control their own people, then those governments are just as guilty of invasion, and should be considered enemy states. No aid, no trade, no diplomatic relations, until apologies are issued, and reparations are made, by the offending nations. Eve...

That's just Idiotic... The Vast majority of aid to those nations has Zero accountability and is used to pay for weapons and training of those that fire them.... My View is Pull all Aid, Troops, Supplies, Equipment, Personnel and close all tourism access... On the way out make it clear as long as they stay within their assorted boarders and stone their women, kill each other in mass and rape their camels we don't care... If one bullet, one bomb crosses the boarder in an attack on US assets or our Allies Assets we will start making everything from power plants to taxi cabs disappear.... If they start building stuff that is a direct threat they will be left building i...
