Nay, by and large post-WWII foreign aid has had the aim of keeping corrupt yet controllable despots in power, so that we can be the primary influence of policy in the region without nettlesome objections from the population. As far as “protecting” the United States, well that’s true. Except “protect” here has a technical meaning: it means “benefitting the entrenched interests while endangering ordinary Americans.” http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2011/08/03/the-misleading-reporting-on-foreign-aid/?...
