9. Makes Me Wonder What Happened to the...
...wonderful efforts our government used to champion.

Has the Iraq war replaced the Peace Corps as the model for American benevolance? How myopic is our current leadership that it fails to sieze upon the world's need for butter & not guns?

(figuratively) For every pound of butter given away -- we can eliminate a gun pointed against us. The only reason I can come up with that this admin ignores this dynamic is that it's far more concerned with exerting control than anticipating & managing threats.

Stalin would be proud.
