We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

I think Emily is right in that the U.S. was ultimately trying to contain the spread of communism in addition to the economic benifets.. America had learned that giving in to despotic governments yielded no long term solutions,but rather quite the opposite: a reason for the communist leaders to keep striving for dominance. America saw a grave threat on the horizon and decided to trim it at the bud by spending billions of dollars now in stead of being walked over until WWIII erupts.
