#2 American authorities had refused to finance the expenses of her personal security measures

That's the same country that ~~pisses away~~ spends 3 billion a week on trying to civilize Iraqis?

#3 In the article, the key points of U.S. refusal to pay forcing Ms. Ali back to the Netherlands and Dutch discontinuing payments are both alleged. Twenty-four hour rule at least -- let's see if she didn't just fly back to visit friends or do some shopping for items unavailable in Washington, DC.

#4 g: That's the same country that pisses away spends 3 billion a week on trying to civilize Iraqis?

This is the country that has spent perhaps $50b subsidizing Israel over the past several decades. I can't remember the last time Israel sent troops to help us do anything anywhere. At the same time, we saved Israel's butt during Yom Kippur by risking nuclear war with Moscow. I hate to say it - but without Uncle Sam, there probably wouldn't be an Israel.

#5 Probably not, Zhang Fe. But it's not cost many American lives, unlike a few other countries that stand in the breach in their part of the world.
