[effect]the government has been pouring resources into foreign wars halfway around the world
[stats]arms manufacturing industry becomes stronger, economy goes down, defense goes up

[option]"The government is going to do WHAT?!" moans @@RANDOMNAME@@ of the Give Peace a Chance organization. "This war is illegal, immoral, and a general outrage!

Think your effects are a little backwards here. Arms contracts would boost the economy, though it would increase government spending for defense if you've giving them away. Effects of helping could be more foreign contracts in the newly liberated country - another economy boost, and the opposite for failing to support.

How about another peacenik option to send only humanitarian relief?

comminuqué should be communiqué.
