Semester topic
We will compare the finacial foreign aid given by the United States in foreign countries. Financial aid in Iraq is very high in comparisson to any other counited aided by the United States in the past. However, their success in rebuilding the country has not been a representative of the money spent. In comparrison, although America spent a great deal of money to help rebuild Germany after World War II, the total was not nearly as high, and was also more successful.

Financial aid is a good topic, but please be sure to focus on the comparative impact of that aid on the domestic societies (politics, economies, social structure) of the societies themselves.
What type of foreign aid has the best impact on these societies? What types of domestic structures–political, social, economic–are most propitious for the effective utilization of foreign aid?

I read an article a while back that blamed the Bush administration for spending too much money. Back in the day soldiers were not as comfortable. I read that even the water that the soldiers boil their hot dogs in has to be imported, all food has to be imported because they cannot use any of the food around. Not only that, but it blamed the Bush administration for being too hasty trying to rebuild while they are still destroying.
