Atleast we're not funding the Egyptos with tax dollars. Maybe we ought fund all foreign assistance and support ONLY with money we take from the drug cartels. I mean, it seems appropriate to use "drug" money if we think sending Egypt money will make them a true ally, and it seems reasonable that we'd send drug money considering how legitamtely and responsibly the Egyptians are likely to spend it.
Don't throw good money after bad, throw bad money at bad.
