InDUHviduals Write In....

Yes, it's time again for another entertaining installment
from Scott Adams' Dilbert Blog!

This time, Scott asked yesterday for inDUHviduals to write in and
provide explanations for why the U.S. continually gives so much
financial "aid" to Israel, and the results are stunning. :-)

Backtrack from the Dilbert blog [link below] to see the original
request ["Those Crazy Terrorists"].

Scott:

The other day I asked if anyone could explain why we give foreign aid to Israel. I received about 25 alleged reasons. 
As readers of this blog already know, when something has one reason, there’s a healthy chance that it’s a good reason. 
When something has 25 completely different reasons, they’re probably all bullshit. That’s just a general rule. Judge 
for yourself whether it fits this case.

For your convenience, I grouped your alleged reasons into the ones that sound feasible to me and the ones that sound 
nutty. The feasible sounding ones aren’t “reasons” per se – more like explanations of something gone terribly wrong. 
And the nutty ones have grains of truth – they just don’t seem compelling compared to alternate uses of the money.
