I am extremely insulted by this.  The billions of money we spend on foreign policy?  Are you for real??  We spend 1% of our budget on foreign policy, including peace corps.  or did you mean our defense budget?  in which case you call our defense department our foreign policy?  seriously, you have two kids in the Foreign Service and you perpetuate these stupid myths about how much money we spend overseas.  That's really annoying.  How about some research??  http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/stephen-glain/2011/04/14/the-budget-and-the-real-scandal-of-foreign-aid for one. GRR.
