Propsitions such as the one we are discussing are evaluated on the criteria of right/wrong, good/bad, experience/ideolgy
and NOT whether one has stars or stripes on their flag location or the Hilal.
keep this in mind, ideology will always lose when not confirmed by experience.

Simply asserting that CM is right, is creating FACT by assertion -- if the aid is "peanuts" reject it -- If the fight is Pakistan's why take money from others??
Money, aid, military supplies - these are not the problem -- the problem is Will, the will to prevail over Islamist terrorists - the rivalry with India, which is what Afghanistan is about, cannot have a positive outocme for Pakistan, unless Pakistani leadership and particularly the Pakistani public takes a clear stand against islamist terror in Pakistan; this will be consequential elsewhere, as well.
