As recently as May, I believe, Colin Powell was praising our then-recent foreign aid of some 40-50 million to Afghanistan.

We have aided Israel, yes.

We have spent hundreds of millions in aid to other countries in the region, too.

Yet they spit in our face.

I would move that any country with citizens celebrating in the streets after the plane bombing should have all foreign aid from us cut off. Immediately.

Jerry Pournelle had the unique notion of bulldozing the neighborhoods in which that was known to have happened, sowing the ground with salt, and building a monument to the victims. Perhaps a trifle extreme, but it would be effective.
