Governor Mitt Romney has said that we should help threatened Islamic states with public schools.

What do you think? This is what I was able to come up with:

We should help threatened Islamic states with public schools.

I would like to hear your reasons to agree or disagree, until then here are my Reasons to agree with Romney:

1. Their is a certain amount of risk that we face going to war with an Islamic nation. We should multiply the percentage chance of going to war with a nation, multiplied by the estimated cost of this war to estimate the likely amount of money that we would spend to fight that country. This dollar amount is what we already plan on spending in the future fighting them. So lets make up a scenario. Lets pretend that we see a 2% chance of going to war with Egypt, and we believe a war with them would cost a minimum of 1 billion dollars. We would label this amount of money as the money that we could anticipate spending in a war with them. 2% of 1 billion dollars is $20 million dollars. Now if we cold spend 1/2 of that to reform their schools, making it much less likely that they would go to war with us, and they want our help, then we should probably do it, if we are more than 50% confident that it will divert a war. This may sound stupid to most people. We usually don't put much thought into the decisions we make. But this sort of thinking is valid, and is valid in deciding to use money now, to prevent spending way more money later. Perhaps their are other things that we can spend our money on better at home, but maybe not. Choice is good.
2. School choice is good.
3. If we use money helping countries become stable and provide for their citizens, we won't have to defend ourselves against angry people who are full of hate, with nothing to loose, who want to kill us.
4. Competition is good.
5. People who won’t allow parents to have educational choices are trying to advance an agenda with our children.
6. People who won’t allow parents to have educational choices are trying to brain-wash our kids. They are trying to advance ideas outside of a competitive marketplace. They want a monopoly were only they can decide what children learn.
7. Many madrasahs teach violent jihad.
8. If parents had a state-school choice, fewer people would be taught to hate.
9. Parents should have a choice of sending their kids to public school, or private school.
10. Many Islamic countries only have religious schools.
11. Parents should have public schools.
12. We would only focus on places were madrasahs teach violence. Religious schools are fine, but people should have a choice. It's alright to be practical and have rules that promote non-violent schools, and discourage support to violent schools. Hillary Clinton gave a speech about this, saying that it was wrong to have vouchers that go to private schools, because if you give money to Catholics, you would then have to give money, in her world, to white-supremacist. This is where layer-type-people prove that they have no common sense. This is an example of a larger problem, when you view the world from behind a law school, like Hillary Clinton. The best book that talks about the way that Hillary and Obama look at the world is a book called; “The Death of Common Sense: How Law is Suffocating America”. If everyone read this book, no one would vote for Obama or Hillary.

Reasons to disagree with Romney:

1. Americans will give those who don't like us reasons to be cynical, if we are seen as saying how great religious schools are, if they are from our religion, but trying to shut them down if they are from someone else's religion.
