#8 The Department for International Devolvement (DFID), the organ of British government responsible for promoting development and reducing poverty across the world, will give Pakistan $500 million in three years for poverty reduction projects.

Fine by me. Let the Poms drop their pounds into a black hole for once.

#9 Terrorism is damn good business. Instead of hitting Pakistan with a punitive expedition for creating, sponsoring and directing the Taliban rulers and sheltering and using bin Laden and AQ to attack the Pakistani governments internal and external enemies, the US rewarded Pakistan. US aid to Pakistan after the Sept. 11 attacks have been running over a billion dollars per year and will do so for at least the next five years. The Bush admin has also forgiven at least $1.5 billion in Pakistani debt. Pakistani economic growth has now gone from negative to 5% annual growth.

Instead of invading, kicking the Saudis out and seizing all their assets, oil revenues to the terror sponsoring nations have doubled. The Saudis and Iranians are now flush with cash to buy and develop any weapons they wish. Stagnant economies are now growing at 10% a year due to massive growth of oil revenues and economic aid. Afghanistan and Iraq are getting tens of billions of development each year and are now growing 40-50% a year. If any of the muslim countries could have predicted the US reaction, they would have happily attacked us years ago.
