My Flaps
1) It's awefully expensive! How many lives would we save if we spent it instead on homeland security, embassy security, and international intellegence?
2) It's a bad way to do diplomacy. a. We should have and could have worked out something with the Russians that would help them save face. They are our friends, now. We should try to keep them so. b. This fosters our image around the world as a superpower that does anything it wants to and ignores everyone elses' opinion.
