It's common sense. When our money is involved, that means our reputation is involved, so of course, strings should be attached for every transaction.

Right now, we aren't looking too good on the world stage because it appears that we're funding a mass slaughter. I'm very uncomfortable, disappointed and saddened by our complicity in such a humanitarian disaster.
