We talked in class today about democracy and liberty, and the United States funding Pakistan's aggression towards India was brought up. For years the US gave into Pakistan's F-16 macho military addiction, even though it did little to fight extremist elements that have plagued Pakistan for decades. This was probably facilitated for a few reasons: it could be played that voting against the F-16 program is like cutting off aid for an ally in the region, the members of Congress that represent the districts that make the parts and assemble the F-16s fought for their districts' interests and kept the program going, and the Military Industrial Complex rewarded these members with contributions.

I like how you used "gave into" as the hyperlink phrase. Unusual choice. Next time you should just choose a random article such as "the" or "a".
I'm a rebel without an article.
And I think making a gigantic cake shaped like Peach's Castle and then throwing it away is an unusual choice...
