yup, tough to argue those points and the problem is that we like to spread so much money around(I think that's a quote from someone famous) that it's often funding competing interests...... diplomacy, looking back at Spence's statement about Egypt, now comes down to what our political elections here have essentially become...."do what we want or you'll lose your welfare and freebies"....sad things is that this type of "motivation" is temporary and you have to keep paying everyone to "behave"....
