I don't see why we should use taxpayer money to just hand to people in the 3rd world. What kind of message would that send? Blow up buildings and your people shall be rewarded? Meanwhile countless other 3rd world countries that are more impoverished and that don't harbor terroists get $0.00 from us. What kind of ****ed up idea is that? You can't make anything better by injecting money into a hopeless economy where it will just be corrupted away and vanish in days. You'll only be wasting your money, and sending some pretty bad Messages. One of them is "Look at us, we're the United States. We're better than everyone else. We're fixing your ****ed up country because you can't take care of ourselves. Don't you love us?" I'm no conservative, but I can see that this ultra-liberal, carebear approach to world politics leads nowhere but down.

Since I'm getting so fond of talking about sending Messages in this post, here's the message we should send: "Trade with us, sign treaties with us, we will help your economies, sometimes out of the goodness of our hearts, but don't ever, EVER **** with us. If you do, you'll regret it for the remaining few days you and all your followers have left to live." We need to hunt down and destroy the organization that was involved in the catastrophe, then we need to hunt down and destroy other terrorist organizations that weren't involved so that everybody in the world will know not to ever do something like it ever again.

If these "rogue states" won't hand over the terrorists, we should declare war on their leadership. Not on their people, mind you, but on the fanatical morons that run those countries. They are a blight on the world, and they all deserve to die. They're hateful, self-righteous bigots who exploit their own people and turn them against convenient scapegoats. There will always be people like that in the world, but they should never be allowed positions of leadership in any country, anywhere. The fact that they do lead certain countries is a grave mistake and because of the attack and those governments' refusal to help, the US now has the power, the right, and maybe even the obligation to fix that mistake and make the world a better place. Maybe this sounds too harsh for some people, but it is necessary and it is more than justified.
