This venue explores local, state, national, and international issues. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's awful, but it will always strive to be entertaining and to be provocative. No illusions here. Just ground level ideas from a working stiff.

ICRC's Attitude Toward US

Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it, or so someone said. The same goes for those who do not remember it, or ignore it. The United States and its citizens should immediately withdraw all (and I mean all) support for not only the ICRC, but for its sister organizations. If the American Red Cross renounces its ties, it can stay, but it's time to exact civility in return for help.

Likewise, we should withdraw all support from countries who can't demonstrate a modicum of gratitude and respect for our largesse. They should be given 90 days to clean up their stables, or they should be shown the door. Think of what "foreign aid" money would do for border protection.
