#1 I would be surprised if they ever get it

The last time , the turbans in London and Pakistan set up a charity front to fund a terrorist plot.

I am sure the true believers see this as a new opportunity to launder money

Call me jaded but my sympathy meter is broken. No more fish and no more teaching fishing. F'em

#2 We need to send them messages that we'd like to help, but they obviously aren't Friends of Allan.

#4 Last time we sent a big load of aid didn't seem to generate any goodwill, why would it this time?

#5 I's send help. Not cash. And not through any second parties. A company of our Misguided Children could provide emergency recovery and medical services, set up some tents, hand out a few pallets of MREs and go back to A'stan. If it doesn't happen today or tomorrow though, don't bother.

#6 let's hope our politicians actually have some sense this time(not likely too happen i know) and don't even send them a tent. They been living there in the shit hole for 1000's of years dealing with this shit and still thrive like cock roaches let the middle eastern staes send them AID

#7 Whew! For a second I thought they were talking about the two mighty temblors here in Irving, Texas last night.

#9 Pakistan can raise taxes on the upper class to fund aid programs. They're for Obama, and Obama recommends this strategy.
