I worry more about the grey zones. My godmother travels regularly to Afghanistan to visit the mountain village she is helping support. She and other charitable foreigners are closely monitored by the government because they always fear spies. They are also at risk of being assaulted by robbers and/or murdered by militants.

And right here? This is the issue. Plenty of poor needy folk right there in the US.

Liberal schools are so busy telling kids that we conservatives are paranoid racists, and yet...[/quote]

Huh? I think the guy who went to N Korea is clearly stupid but to argue that Americans shouldn't help the needy overseas and only do charitable work in the US is a bit ignorant and lacking in compassion.  Poor people in third world countries generally gave it so much worse than in this country- in many places there is no "food stamps" equivalent, no public hospitals, no government aid at all. If it weren't for international aid organizations there would be no help at all. And Afghanistan is exactly the kind of place where a bit if American goodwill could go a long way in the hearts and minds of its citizens.  I applaud the PP's godmother for her bravery.[/quote]
