money is aimed at insuring we can buy oil from those trying to kill us. Let's agree on, say 500 billion, half for oil, the other half because we are nice and want those people in the middle east to be a democracy. Why can't the Saudis help police their own citizens instead of growing all of these terrorists? Don't they think that would be better business? The oil producing countries don't want to do it because the US will do it and pay for it. If the Times Square Bomber wants us to leave that part of the world alone, I say we shouldn't spend our money there. Spend it at home where it won't come back to kill us. If you love America, you have to hope things change because the balance of trade is killing us.
