Re: this sums it up
That pretty much sums up how I feel. We live outside the "Nations Capital". I personally am disgusted with the piss poor condition of what is supposed to be the most important city in the world. Seems to me that it would be nice to be able to spend some of that $350 mil here at home helping our own people and rebuilding our own cities. Maybe even getting a real health care system.

Re: this sums it up
THe USA needs to let other countries step up to the plate for emergencies, disasters, war conflicts, etc...... We should not have to "police" the world. The world now relies on the USA to solve everything. 
Our money could be well spent in our own country instead of sending money to everyand any country in need of help.

That doesn't mean they're off to watch a playoff game, does it?

Not quite the same I think......never implied he was a terrorist, just a strange choice of attire that obviously shows support for a terrorist.
I'm sure he picked it up somewhere because he had nothing else to wear
