Research has shown that military assistance has actually caused and exacerbated terroristic problems in the world. One of the big things is that the countries that we provide the aid to actually see this aid as a threat. One example was when two NYU professors took a poll, and they discovered that our invasion in Iraq caused a 607% increase in terrorism. To effectively solve the problem, we cannot continue to provide military aid. In fact, Syria stopped peace talks because of military assistance. We cannot continue to provide this, and we must stop exacerbating the problem.
