Its funny how the general beef of the American Right is often "welfare".

Why are hard working, tax paying Americans responsible at all for the condition of their fellow citizens who are less fortunate? It's an outrage that they should get one dime of assistance from the national kitty!!

Yet when justification for Military Action is needed, Uncle Sam is completely responsible for every needy citizen on planet earth.

Says Doug R: "...but what about Irael? Turkey? Other friends of the free world? Do you take the position that the two major powers have no responsibility for their welfare?"
