Talk about spending!!??!!

SO What would say if I were to tell you that in the last month in this one Brigade that I am assigned to we spent in the neighborhood of 20 million dollars of your money to improve infrastructure of IRAQ? I'm not talking about things that we damaged during the war, i mean things like building or repairing water treatment facilities, schools, roads, court houses, buying front loaders and graders and over 400K on computers and trainers to teach the kids how to use them. the reason that i mention this is because our federal government is sending all of this money, your money, over here instead of in our own country on the exact same things that need improvement when we could be helping the Iraqis with this by making them use their own revenue from oil and international trade. i am not sure that our founding fathers meant that we should go and impose our own way of life on other people when they founded this country. I believe that they meant for us to stand up and show the world that a free society can work and let the rest of the world choose it's own path. imposing one countries beliefs and values on another is called imperialism and if I am not mistaken is the reason for the American revolution about 234 years ago. don't get me wrong, i believe in helping people stand on there own but the key to that is teaching them how and showing them what worked for us. not spending our own money to do it for them. I'm just saying, ya know. feel free to comment
