I think what the question was...why do we bomb or attack countries and then turn around and help them rebuild it? We have done it several times. It doesn't make sense..and the news wants to talk about wasteful spending. To me that is wasteful spending. I also do not understand why we can donate all this money overseas to other "needy" countries when we ourselves are a country in need. So they go after our education and cut back on the teachers and shut down schools...we still continue to do wasteful spending.
