hey guys, this is a very routine kind of argument that is often used to shoot down a move. Take for example when we tested our nuclear weapons in 1998. Some people said we could have spent that much time and money on improving girl education in our country.

Now how do you counter that. While girl education is important, testing our nuclear weapon was also important. The bottom line is that we have to carry all threads together.

hence while improving roads in our own country is important, helping another nation in need, that could rightly give us much needed geo-political advantage in times of need, is also important.

I hope i could make my point clear.

peace
