I agree with your point.  But the current mood of the country, as *I* see it,
and as I see it coming from the present administration, is that we sent them
food and money during the Peace Corps years of Kennedy, and all the babies
grew up to hate Americans.  Also, the current Administration is obsessed with
the godless evil Soviet empire and stopping them, and the only way to stop
them is to get their respect by having just as many guns as they have and
arming just as many of our friends as they have! We (and our friends) will
eat our meals in peace once we're safe!

Or, if I may do my cheap imitation of George Will, look at it this way:
If I send you food, and along comes a bear to eat up your food everytime,then th
the next thing I'll send you is a gun!

I'm of the school of thought of winning and keeping friends through ADMIRATION
and RESPECT, not through INTIMIDATION!  Sure, you'll repect me because I can
kick your tail if you don't!
