There were measurements called the Marshall plan, which helped us a great deal... you elevated us so we can become strong trade partners. This was direct financial aid worth an today's equivalent of 130 billion (it were more than 13 billion at the time). 
Without that, all follow-ups would have been less efficient.

If they are correct, then our no longer intervening should dramatically reduce the threat of terrorism.

Alright, that line of thinking makes sense.
