You know what Djin....you are exactly right...and in my eyes...unlike the narrow definitions of the UN....That is aid....it is a reciprocal deal for us being neighbors and all as we send people north on a regular basis as well...but neither of those is counted by the UN as foreign aid....remember...it has to go through their accounting system for it to count.
