Tackling the big one

Scott Adams has finally asked the big question on his blog. Expect everything over there to go crazy from here on in. Scott has asked why America continues to support Israel financially.

Read the post because it is fantastic in its construction. But the gist is this: America gives Israel 1-3 billion dollars in Aid. Why? Israel has a GDP of 145 billion dollars so that the 1 billion doesn't really make a big difference to Israel. But it really upsets everyone else. So wouldn't it be better to stop and give the money to countries where they don't have 145 billion dollars. Amonst other things he suggests Darfur.

Scott really hasn't dissapointed yet. The best blog on the internet: Foreign Aid
