<p>tsdad,</p>
<p>Good point on the foreign policy initiatives. In that vein, should we target this toward those that we want to influence the most? No more eastern Europeans, that job is done. Target the financial aid to students from Iraq and Afghanistan, etc.</p>
<p>Alternatively, we have a ist of countries where we can not ship certain high tech equipment. Do we develop a similar list of countries where we do not provide financial aid as a matter of public policy?</p>
<p>Hard to know what the right policy would be.</p>
