#1 I could never, ever, figure out why the U.S. government favors Pakistan and gives its corrupted leaders money. I still can't. During the Cold War it might have made some sense but even then it did more to alienate the Indians than anything else and India, as the world's largest democracy, should be our primary concern. And then there's China. Did guys like Nixon fear that without U.S. aid the Paks would fall under the sway of the Chicoms? Dunno but it's a good bet the Paks wouldn't have nukes if it wasn't for the Chicoms and by helping the Paks we seem to be helping the Chicoms in their war against India. Then there's the excuse that we need the Paks to help us fight the Taliban. But without the Paks there would be no Taliban. Maybe if we just stopped giving them money they would all starve. What a puss pocket. What a curse.
