There are certain countries that have agendas that are blatantly against us yet we have a need to send money to them and it inevitably goes to the groups who oppose us. Not dealing with a few countries is far from isolationism but hey whatever floats your boat.

I understand if you don't have time to check this board often, but try to address all the things that have happened in your absence.

It's not as if the US is cutting free checks made out to "cash" to every country with its hand out and then half of them take the check with one hand and give us the finger with the other. We provide money for specific things, like fighting AIDS, tuberculosis & malaria, or antidrug initiatives in South America, or what have you.
