Certainly correct, but I'd still have severed all aid to any group or country that burned our flag or said we deserved the 9/11 attacks.
No humanitarian aid shit either- the leaders can pay for the masses' food with their war chest.
Anyhow, I've been working myself to death this week (55 hours and I still work another 8 on sunday!) and have not had too much time to keep up with the current crisis, but I did hear Bush parrotting Israel's call for an international military presence to keep Hezbollah away from the border (and undoubtedly to prevent Iran and Syria from resupplying them as well). Sounds like the idea is taking off too- several countries have pledged support of the plan.
