'We' being whom ? Impoverished Americans ?

Even impoverished Americans understand Israel's need to protect herself from the pig-men who would attack her...

Do you really care about Americans, inpoverished or not? I have to ask as I find that hard to believe.

I might ask the same of you, as you seem hell-bent on supporting policies which harm the US.

I asked and your dodge tells me the answer.

Really? 'Cause it seems like Palestinian Pig-People are gonna' be on the short end of this particular stick...

OMG.

I'll add that Syrians might be experiencing that end of the stick, too.

Si Modo;
Convince me that your question addresses the topic and I'll answer in the simple terms you expect.

I don't think they should either. But I'm a citizen of the United States, so I'm going to complain about the actions of my government first.

Also, if the US set the standard on this, the others would follow suit.

I hope that you aren't as disagreeable in real life as you are on the internet.

Convince me that your feigned concern for any American is on topic, and I'll do the same. I call them as I see them and will continue to do so when lies and inaccuracies are printed here.

I think you misunderstood, understandably so as I did not make my question clear.

Should the U.S. exclude the participation of other nations involved in the project as well (i.e. not facilitate their "militarism").

Yes. I don't want my country to be an arms dealer.

Well, it's a joint project, receiving funding and participation from other members beside the U.S. It's not about arms sales.

And yet, that's what it consists of: arms dealing.

Some countries are putting their money together to jointly develop a strike fighter. Big friggin deal.
