#2 I agree with Kirk, but Washington would have to get the cancellation cleared by Beijing, which would never happen. There are often strings attached to endless monetary extensions you know. The piper must be paid.

#3 It doesn't seem that there is a cause and effect relationship associated with the boodle we give them. They would hate us with or without the boodle. They are a failed state ruled by corruption.

#4 As JohnQC says money or not they hate us so why are we paying?

Saudis and Pakis are taught from a young age to hate anyone non muslim so money makes no difference to the results in state demanded opinion polls.
