Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) suggests that humanitarian aid is the best way to deter future generations of terrorists from rising against America.
Senate Minority Leader Reid said that it is important for the United States to extend a helping hand to underdeveloped nations as it is important for our own security that the citizens of those nations do not spite us and see us as a friend. Reid recalled the lessons learned by Franklin Roosevelt during the Second World War: that our own happiness depends on the happiness of others. (:58)
