i want to be president because even i know that spending 100 million dollars on an arab news station and then screwing it up is an idiotic idea! after watching 60 minutes last night i was furious! logically doesnt it make sense to most people that if we want to make a better impression on the rest of the world we should be helping people not killing them? what if we instead of blowing the money on alhurra news took the 100 million or more and bought the plumpy nut food from doctors without borders and fed malnourished children around the world. that would be 100 million children for one day or 25 million children for four days. think of the great publicity for that! plus, it fights terrorism. i am a very firm believer that any of us who has to feed our family will in the end, do almost anything in order to do that. so, if america is helping your family survive instead of the taliban guess who you are going to support. so, the taliban loses favor and power because they are no longer necessary. is it just me or doesnt this make much more sense? think of all of the other things we could spend our money on the help people instead of wasting it as we do.
i am going to write my congressman and senator today. i am extremely angry about this! of course if i were president i could do something to fix it immediately...
