I only posted the CNN news item as an answer to Stormrider's opinion that: " There is already so much hatred for us in the middle east, how is it going to look if we invade another country, destroy a bunch of their things and then say, "hey, we'll loan you guys the money to fix it up".
To me it would be immoral for us to do that. That's why I support a grant instead of a loan. We've already had too many of our soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrefice -- asking me to foot some of the bills is nothing compared to that. "
As the news was a new development pertinent to the discussion I thought it was ok to post it.
