The things some people so desperately wish to believe.
It would be better for all of you to march on your government and demand that they declare war on America, NATO, ISAF, the U.N., Afghanistan, and maybe India too.
You want to. You know you do. You REALLY want to.
There have been countless thousands of wet-dreams at this board alone of marching at the fore of a victorious Pakistani/Pashtu taliban alliance into Kabul and sending the afghan and Indian minions of America scurrying before the might of your righteous power.
Free yourselves from these shackles of aid and call a spade a spade. No amount of aid can save you and will only hasten the enriched escape of your current leaders once they skim their 10%.
No. Make open, manly war upon the Americans and others behind the uniform and flag of Pakistan to assert your perceived rights and position in this world. Earn by the sword what's heretofore been denied and teach all those in need of a lesson in proper humility to FEAR your powerful army...
I don't wish a red cent of my nation's money upon you. I fear it's misuse and I've sixty plus years of disastrously single-minded focus on Kashmir and India at the expense of your overall social development. It's caught up with you and no amount of civil aid will arrest that condition much less reverse such in time to save yourselves.
Until you've EXHAUSTED yourselves of these mis-begotten notions of denied glory and embrace the hard business of nationhood, we're wasting our money supporting a likely enemy.
I'm reminded here constantly that no nation has suffered more. I say Afghanistan has. I'm reminded that your army has lost over a thousand men in this war. I'll remind you that you've done so on your own soil and that has been over the course of seven years. That's less than one reinforced battalion.
I'm real unimpressed with everything except the amazing conquest of FATA and SWAT. That's impressive.
Were it the Indians, though, you'd be charging with pitchforks, stones, and wooden spears if need be.
I prefer that we quit tap-dancing around this and begin to ask the simple, salient questions of whether there's any way in hell you can be a good ally to Afghanistan's stabilization effort now underway and whether any aid, civil or military, rendered now would make a difference?
My answers are you're our enemy and can't help and even if you weren't additional aid isn't the answer and wouldn't arrive in time nor with sufficient impact to affect matters for the better.
