#2. Which nations would you consider “Islamic maniacs”? A better question would be why does President Bush fund Islamic countries with Foreign Aid? If these countries hate us and disregard the worlds laws. Then why does President Bush give Foreign Aid to Iran who has publically hated us for more than 20 years. Bush has given Iran Foreign Aid of about $70 million dollars a year since he’s been in office. In the New Budget Bush has INCREASED the amount of Foreign Aid to the Government of Iran to $75 million dollars.
Why is Mr. Bush funding these so called, “Islamic maniacs”? Bush has funded them since the time he took office with the Taxpayers money! Here is a list of ‘SOME’ of the countries that receive taxpayers hard earned money in the form of Foreign and Military Aid!
