SO16_Saint Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 £8Bn confirmed spending on overseas aid today. 11,000 armed forces jobs to go. School buildings project scrapped. Why the f*ck are we agreeing to spend £8Bn overseas!?!?
Deppo Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 I'm going to suggest that sending aid on helping create democracies, with free elections, education and so on is in our long term interests. Disenfranchised people who live in poverty and hopelessness are more prone to follow fundementalists. Also, in a changing world it is important to create allies.

Its quicker and easier to simply invade them, recent experience has proved that beyond reasonable doubt.
Deppo Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 It's a strong arguemment that you put forward. I am in agreement with you.
