Unfortunately, indeed, the support given by the United States is lukewarm. It is sad to see that money is, once again, more important than millions of lives, and the health of many millions more.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
