An Open Question to Interventionists

(1/3) > >>

Alia:
Which should be our first priority, the health, happiness, freedom, and wellbeing of our own people, or that of foreigners?

Which is it, stamp out oppression abroad, or at home?

Alia:
This is to say, assuming we don't have infinite money, where should it be spent as a priority? Programs to improve the quality of life here, or wars fought to improve it elsewhere?

Giuliano Taverna:
I would suggest doing both in equal measure, simultaneously.

Alia:
Hypothetically, if you only have ten dollars, and making American people free and improving their quality of life costs $20, and making Iraq free and improving their quality of life costs $20, you're saying that you would spend $5 on America and $5 on Iraq?

Alia:
Let me put this to you another way.

If you are a father, and you have a child who wants a Beany Baby, and also some poor kid wants a Beany Baby, assuming you're able and willing to buy one but not two, who gets it, Toys for Tots, or your own son?
