#3 I'm sure there would be quite a bit more interest in giving aid and comfort to the displaced in Pakistan if it weren't such a recurring demand, and if there were sufficient guarantees that the aid would get to those that needed it. The world remembers what happened to 2/3 of the aid sent to Kashmir after the last major earthquake. Most Americans don't have a very high opinion of Pakistan to begin with, and their behavior throughout the world isn't necessarily something that inspires confidence in the country. It's a shame, but it's not terribly unexpected.
