As if we didn't have enough money problems.

Before you label me as a cold-hearted, uncaring person...really, I'm not, but for some reason this little statement kind've infuriates me. It almost sounds like he's blackmailing us and maybe he's not. Why don't you read it for yourself and if I am wrong than please enlighten me:

F*** Pakistan

You know, I have no problem helping out another country after we get our poop in a group. We have high prices in gas, the Katrina and Rita hurricanes, not to mention the War on terrorism. I don't like it when another country hangs the Taliban over our heads and tells us that we better fork some cash over or else...

Would you PLEASE quit reading my mind :-p

Neutral me agrees with you, too. *hugs*

[emmypooh]

I totally agree. That definitely sounds like blackmail or extortion might be a better word.

Our country needs to get it's financials in order before we even think about more aid. I don't know about anyone else but Is GOD angry?

[tipperdip]

I'm starting to wonder the same thing.

[allaboutus2004]

sounds like underhanded blackmail to me.>:(

[tipperdip]

Agree.

I rarely talk politics on my LJ b/c I might start getting ranty (I get wanked at enough for *serious* business like elite icon communities *rolls eyes*) but yeah, I am inclined to agree.

As if we didn't have enough money problems.
