I also seem to remember that there are rallies held where *the people*
get out and cheer on as the US is called the great Satan.  This is
nonsense that it is only a few wierdo terrorists.  (I am not implying
that *every* citizen there is a terrorist, only that many the people
seem to support there government and terrorist actions.

However, that is no reason for us to not send aid to the people.  When
the people see the aid and that "The Great Satan" sent it, they may
begin to see that their government has been deceiving them.  Example is
better than words.
Let us set the example.
