Foreign aid shouldn't be for developed countries that can take care of themselves. Or for countries that sponsor terrorism and oppress their people. Iran would and Syria would be excellent examples of that, but South Africa would be an example of where foreign aid can pay off and not only benefit South Africans, but benefit America as well and make sure that we continue as valuable allies.
Bad foreign aid would be foreign aid that goes to countries and then they either sponsor terrorism. Or harbor terrorists in their countries, where those terrorists are threats to America. Pakistan would be a good example of that and its time America reexamines its relationship with Pakistan as well.
Where the foreign aid goes to corrupt government's and those people pocket the money, or give that money to terrorists, Africa would be a good example of that as well, that would be bad foreign aid. Foreign aide should be about helping developing countries, develop: Central America, South America, Africa, wherever, helping them develop their security so they can defend themselves from terrorism or other countries.
Columbia would be an excellent example of t where foreign aid can help both the Columbian people, but America as well with debt relief, helping them sustain their federal budgets so their government's can meet the needs of the country.
As long as foreign aide is going to developing, but responsible, unified, and constitutional government's and where the foreign aide actually gets to the people who need it, I'm in favor of foreign aide, because it helps them, but is good for America, because it creates new partners and markets for America, which is a plus for everyone involved.
