Isn't providing global humanitarian relief a better way to overcome the negative ideas of fundamentalists?

Question

If we paid 1/2 of what we paid for bombs towards getting food water and services to the millions that need it, not only would we be helping those that need it, we would also be contesting the negative ideas and ideology of extremists. Had we stuck with small special ops along Afghan boarder and not moved into Iraq so quickly and ill prepared, we would have caught "the people that knocked those buildings down". Had we diverted the financial and personnel resources to supporting humanitarian relief around the globe, we would have undermined the extremists’ message. Iraq and other campaigns these days are all about gaining control and power when they should be controlled ways to empower the indigenous people; improving their life instead of disabling and validating the extremists’ campaign. Typically, people that need the help the most are those that don’t know or understand what is going on elsewhere – but they do know things where they are could be better.

Answer 1

If we did then what would they spend there money on? I know weapons. Example North Korea... Most of his country is starving but he is busy firing his missles into the Japanese ocean testing them so he can blow up the west coast.

Answer 2

The United States gives more money tword humanitarian relief then all other countries combined. And all we get back is how evil we are. It's the governments responsibilites to distribute fairly what we give and most don't. I wished we'd just stay home mind our own business and next time someone needs something call on France or Iran.......
