Umm, let's marginalize the World Bank and International Monetary Funds.

"Friends don't let friends give billion dollar loans to other countries."

I think we need to administer another tough dose of medicine to the IMF, who 
has clearly not gotten our message, given their new loan to Argentina.

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE

An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said, "I was 
told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly Vietnamese was 
to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s unfriendly. So I saw 
this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ and he yelled back, ‘To hell 
with President Johnson!’ We were shaking hands when a truck hit us."
