so, we're only liked for our money, but hated for our policies, is that about it?
I think thats only here on this turf....
There was a farming program a couple of years ago that sent a bucket load of money to one of those countries for equipment to till the sand so they could grow... FOOD.
Ok, the deal was we sent a big-azz check to this country, with a stipulation. The fly in the ointment was that they had to buy a certain brand of tractor. The country wasn't concerned. They sent the check to John Deere and they got a boat load of tractors. Whats the problem you ask? Well apparently someone got a bug in their butt.
It should have went out for bid, they may have been able to get more tractors of another brand, blah, blah, blah... ok, so it did suck... a little.
We gave money, they bought tractors, John Deere sold tractors, the sand is growing hoodia or some such thing, all is right with the world but our policies suck.
Tell you what, next time come up with your own money, buy your own tractors.
