Sheesh, and to think TAX PAYING American citizens can't get the help they need to make ends meet after losing job, home, or basically everything to wall street corruption. Lets take care of the whole world EXCEPT our own What a crock.

Why is Pakistan poor? Because they must keep up with the arms race that is draining off human and natural resources.

Why should the Paki governmental leaders and political elites care, if they get sick, it's a sure bet they don't go to that hospital. Oh, and by the way, they had enough money, years ago, to build Nuclear Weapons, so why worry about a hospital?

Pakistan is pouring billions into nuclear research, and arms. It is purchasing billions of dollars of weapons from China! Now Pakistan is running out of energy. Crushing unemployment opportunities for its college graduates and just about the most corrupt government on earth. This writer is ridiculous. 20 billion for nuclear research to build more nuclear bombs and 20 billion for weapons! Who is it going to fight? It lost 4 wars to India. It is not going to fight Iran or China. It is not going to want to take over Afghanistan. The people have to suffer until they lift the yoke.
And the write for AP is a jerk. SEBASTIAN ABBOT

The writer of this despatch is ignorant.

Pakis have a foreign exchange reserves of about $19 billion. Why don't they use that money?

Pakis can save a lot by cutting huge monies spent on producing nukes. Anyhow, in the failed nation, these nukes are going to fall into Islamic militant hands.

Most of our tax monies poured into Pakistan, especially since 2001, have gone into a few pockets and the Islamic militants killing NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Why do these international liabilities, Pakis, need any more aids?
