The U.S. helps save the Egyptian people from the tyrant Mubarak -- and then radicals attack our embassy. We help Libya free themselves of the horrific Muammar Gaddafi, and they storm our embassy and murder our diplomats. Should the US suspend aid to the countries that commit these crimes?

FOXNEWS.COM reports:
Lawmakers and other officials stepped up calls Thursday for the United States to put heavy pressure on the governments whose people are storming U.S. diplomatic posts across the Middle East and North Africa -- even if it means freezing aid and expelling diplomats from Washington.

    We should suspend life from countries that attack us. The Arab world only respects strength. I propose we show them some. Bomb them back to the stone age...er..uh, I mean..cr@p, they're already in the stone age.

    Duh...let me think...should we send hundreds of millions of dollars to our enemies who want to destroy America and burn our flags and kill our innocent diplomats or should we just re-elect the moron that doesn't know the difference between our allies and our enemies?

    Countries do not attack US embassies. Some people in those countries attack our embassies because they get riled up against the US by fundamentalist clergy and right wing commentators on their radio and TV... they know how many gullible idiots there are out there, just as the equivalent folks do here.

    I feel sorry for the innocent victims in those countries. Children, women and the regular citizen trying to survive. But most of that money never reaches them anyway. It's just another hand out from our government to theirs. What a waste.

    But only for a month or two, let them "feel" the pain of not having OUR tax dollars and then threaten to take it away for good if they don't fall into line. If they then don't behave, we need to abolish foreign aid to them. Our NO means to mean NO...

    I don't think we should aid anyone but especially not anyone who attacks us. Suspending aid would put pressure on other countries governments to make sure our embassies don't get attacked.

    Our embassies were attacked by radicals, not the governments of those countries. The attackers were possibly not even citizens of the countries where the attacks occurred.

    The attackers are individuals, not the whole country. It beats the wrong ones when the support stops.

    that is obviously not working like that, and at least not so easy. If the country has, lets say it like that, a slightly instable government, than is this mostly rooted on the fact that there are two, more or less, aggressive groups fighting for the power in this country.

    If we have now decided to help the better ones (and the poor ones independent of side) and get than an attack from the bad ones, why should we stop the support for the good and poor ones? Because the good ones have a problem to defeat this attackers (because of politically split army or police forces for example)?

    If you are lacking detailed information or overview it's better to shut up before you make it more worst: There are more than enough killers inside the US, and nobody can stop them before they have outed themselves by killing someone. Just because you do not know when and why or who. And when there are dead people its too late...

    And: Yes, killing of their own Presidents has not encouraged the Americans to ban firearms...

    No, one of their biggest industries is export of weapons to ..... exactly.
