Who’s Looking Out for the US?

Who’s Looking Out for the US? Written by Nathan Tabor Tuesday, March 07, 2006 The United States is, without a doubt, the most generous country in the world. We are generous in times of natural disaster, donating untold amounts of dollars to help rebuild the lives of those devastated by tsunamis, earthquakes, and other emergencies. We are generous in the defense of freedom, offering military aid to oppressed peoples longing for democracy. Unfortunately, we have also become generous with countries that do not have our best interests at heart. For instance, let’s consider the United Nations voting records of various Arabic and Islamic states. Back in the early part of the ‘90s, American servicemen and women put their lives on the line to liberate Kuwait. Our reward? Kuwait votes against the U.S. in the U.N. 67 percent of the time. That’s the type of return we receive for our military investment in Kuwait. Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates, poised to take over our ports, voted against us 70 percent of the time. Given that fact, can the UAE really be considered a friend of the U.S.? And the indignities do not end there. Qatar voted against us 67 percent of the time; Morocco, 70 percent; Jordan, 71 percent; Tunisia, 71 percent; Saudi Arabia, 73 percent; Yemen, 74 percent; Algeria, 74 percent; Oman, 74 percent; Sudan, 75 percent; Pakistan, 75 percent; Libya, 76 percent; Egypt, 79 percent; India, 81 percent; Syria, 84 percent; Mauritania, 87 percent. In other words, we have a solid voting bloc against us in the Arab world. However, the insanity does not end there. The U.S. routinely bestows billions of dollars in foreign aid to nations that, by all accounts, hate us. Nearly eight out of ten times, Egypt votes against us, yet it still receives $2 billion each year in U.S. aid. Jordan voted against us seven out of ten times and still receives $192,814,000 each year from us. We award millions more to Pakistan and India, even though they routinely side against us.
