Okay, this is a little dry, but if you feel like reading...by all means...do so. It doesn't really start getting interesting until the third page, and then it gets boring again on about the sixth page, but it has its moments. It's written by Hillary Rodham Clinton, and what I found interesting was this part:
"I am sometimes asked why development matters to U.S. foreign policy and why the United States should spend money on people overseas when it has economic challenges at home. As counterintuitive as it may seem, the answer is that development, when done effectively, is one of the best tools to enhance the United States' stability and prosperity. It can strengthen fragile or failing states, support the rise of capable partners that can help solve regional and global problems, and advance democracy and human rights." (last paragraph, page 3.)
