Because we have supplied them with foreign aid, they are more eager to remain aligned with the U.S. and help out with our economy if we were to ask. Other nations may eventually follow our lead if we consistently display and encourage the values instrumental to national stability within other countries and exhibit that we do not intend to misuse our power. [...]

[...] The money spent on humanitarian aid will help establish diplomatic relations, directly and drastically decreasing the need for such an immense military budget. The bottom line remains that if we spend some money now, we will be spending less money in the future. Plus, we may have a new alliance on which to rely for economic help, though it may be very far down the line. However, we need long-terms goals if we are to successfully plan for the present. [...]
