#5  What do you suppose happens when the average Pakistani finds out the US has given BILLIONS in foreign aid to their country

They would nod their heads in agreement. Infidel untermensch have been paying jizya since the rise of Mohammed.

#4  Bill

Problem is all the aid went to the Army and not the people therefore the public blame us for their poor living/education etc.

#2  I never understood the need for a third world train wreck of a country to have 100 nuclear weapons.

The inept and corrupt regime of Pakistan is using India as a boogie man to deflect attention away from their incompetence and the ruined economy. As long as they have someone to blame, be it India or the US.

Tin hat dictators all over the world have used the US as the root cause of their problems for years. Our media feeds into that with their attitudes toward terrorism being the result of something we did in a region.

The constant fixation with blaming the US for their woes has created irrational anti US feeling in Central America and the Middle East. I think part of the reason for the upheaval in the ME is satellite TV's and cell phones with browsers. These regions are learning that we are not the problem. They are their own problem putting up with the crap and the propoganda.

Pakistan is a mess. It has lived continually since the partition on the premise that India was out to get them. Kashmir is an excuse to spend money on the military and suppress the citizens.

I personally think the game is up in Pakistan and us pulling the plug on our aid to them would put a bow on it. What do you suppose happens when the average Pakistani finds out the US has given BILLIONS in foreign aid to their country for infrastructure, education and economic development? The government cannot deny they received aid from us and at the same time blame economic woes on AID BEING CUT OFF.

Of course, we're talking about Pakistan where white is black and up is down and logic and reason are completely irrational thought processes.

#1  Obama will do absolutely nothing. You can depend on him to be passive and irresolute.

Besides Iran will be in the news and in terminal crisis by the end of June. That will keep everybody occupied. Pakistan will slide.

The American people dont care and the majority are ignorant. Gasoline prices remain too high. People are out of jobs and we are in an Election year. The political attitudes of Americans are divided, the Congress is blind and drifting. And civil discourse and shared values dont exist.

Our military and our patriotic ethos are spit upon and the burden is born by only the few. Physical disasters are apparent and draining.....and most people feel nothing concerning the fate of their fellow citizens and countrymen.

And the present American leadership? America's future wears a single cubic zirconium earring and his pants are too tight in the crotch.
