India-Pakistan
Pakistan doesn't need US aid
2011-02-12
It has always been the well-thought out plan of every US administration to support autocrats and military dictators, as it is difficult to deal with the cabinet and members of the parliaments to advance its interests.
Oh yes. Because, as we all know, parliamentary democracy is the natural order of things, and the only thing keeping most countries from enjoying the rule of law is a well-thought out plan shared by all of our presidents.

#10  Pakistan is not our friend. To Pakistan we are a money hose, to us Pakistan is a potential enemy to be seduced from acting openly against us... and has always been. From before they were actually independent, their position was that if we didn't bribe them, they wouldn't be able to avoid siding with the other side -- first the Soviet Union, then the Islamists.

#9  PakistanÂ’s rulers should remember Henry KissingerÂ’s words that “America is dangerous for its friends and foes alike”.
Kissinger was only half right. America is only dangerous to its friends. Pakistan, along with most every country, is learning this lesson fast.

#8  Then India will do what it has to do and incinerate Pakistain. Which we should have already done.

You know, it just blows my mind on sites like this when I see some fucktard calling for nuclear war. It really withers my faith in people.

#2  That's good, because I doubt they get it - most gets siphoned off to the big dogs as it enters the country.
