| Pak province cancels 6 US aid deals |
| 2011-05-22 |
| Pakistan's most populous province has cancelled six aid agreements with the United States in protest over the US. raid that killed Osama bin Laden, its law minister said. Pakistan hailed bin Laden's death as a big step against militancy but was incensed by the raid in a garrison town not far from the capital, saying it was a violation of sovereignty. The operation severely strained already uneasy ties between the United States and Pakistan, whose cooperation is needed to stabilise Afghanistan. "We have cancelled six MOUs (memorandums of understanding) with the United States in the fields of health, education and solid waste management," said Rana Sanaullah, law minister of Punjab, the country's political nerve centre. "We have told their concerned departments about our decision. This is our protest against the Abbottabad incident." |

| #7 Following the usual rules of budgeting, if you don't use any budgeted monies this year, you get next year's budget reduced by that amount. I would add a doubler for stupidity. |
