i thought the u.s. got a lot of criticism for backing mubarek, even after it was evident he was going to be deposed? now we were supporters??
sloppy thing, democracy. the voters spoke; if they voted in the muslim brotherhood, so be it.
as for foreign aid, one of the favorite whipping boys of fans of smaller government-that amount is a drop in the bucket. again, the biggest drains on our treasury are defense and then medicare/aid/ss. you can add up every other budget item, every other department-the totals don't add up to what those two albatrosses equal.
