It isn't hubris. I'm annoyed. Only a little bit of that annoyance is directed towards Pakistanis.
Save for the engine, perhaps, I would guess that Pakistan is perfectly capable of building such boats by itself. So why are we giving them away? Is it just a make-work program for U.S. manufacturer during a recession? Something tacked on to a bill by a congressman looking to pay back a favor?
It's too late to take them back, so I'm going to ask my congressman and senator to monitor closely what happens so he might have an excuse to block such a move in the future.
You have my sympathies. We, infact, did not even want the boats. Over the decades Pakistan has developed the art of screwing the US into an art form. We are annoyed now that unlike in the past we are not getting the top of the line stuff. But then we are now a nuclear state, (thanks US help in the past) and our industry is capable of key items like fighters, tanks and frigates and there are alternates in Europe and China for items we cannot produce. So the American ability to leverage aid is all but disapeared. Such small items are counterproductive to America's credibility in Pakistan. Infact the local embassy should not do a PR exercise around such items.
