 While all foreign aid is an unconstitutional taking of=
 individual

 the
 First Clause of the First Amendment . 

 Of all wars not to get involved with religious wars are the
 deadliest . 

 The greatest act for global peace and prosperity would be US
 cutting off foreign aid so governments would have to pay for
 their own weapons of destruction .

 I think one of the bright signs in all the this is the=
 emergence
 of a visible secular democratic movement in Israel . They are
 even taking ads on TV here .
 And there was a joint Israeli-Palestinian peace march in Israel
 Saturday .

 Interestingly , Egypt has a clause in its constitution=
 disallowing 
 religious parties .  Israel , having no constitution , tends to
 be dominated by the theocratic parties .

 I think Syria's speech at the UN was the most interesting ,
 proposing a  WOMD  free zone in the mid-east - including Israel=
 .
