#1 Unless you are obama creating and spending stimulus money... $55billion is a lot of money to throw away.

#2 Okay. How's about we pull all government funding from Oxfam and take that off the top of Pakistan's debt? Does that work for them?

#4 Am I to gather from the comments that none is Oxfam holds none of the debt?

Why... that would suggest this is nothing but empty posturing by an international aid agency.

Heaven fore fend!

#5 If they weren't such class A bastids, maybe someone would have been willing to cut them some slack.

Karma's a biatch, baby, and it doesn't always wait until the next lifetime, either. If youse guys would have been talking to your Hindu neighbors instead of planning attacks on their major cities, maybe they could have explained the concept to you in a way even a five year old could understand.
