Why do American taxpayers pay for foreign Ph.Ds and then send them back to their countries?

Western hegemony.

Today, invasion does not mean colonization-- the collection of territory, but rather, rationalization-- the collection of minds.

We plant the seeds of rationalization and send them back so that those Ph.D. candidates will influence their western education. It is the advancement of American memes throughout the world.

National security. How can you go to war with someone who thinks like you do?
