Interesting then that the US backs the Pakistani shenanigans so throughly, do you include the US in the political class that need to take a look at themselves? I wouldn't claim to have a lot of confidence in my numbers, but the following links state greater dollars to Pakistan, by a fairly significant factor. $98.3 million for fiscal 2013, versus $2 billion for Pakistan. It's mostly military aid for Pakistan, because what they need is more weapons. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/20/world/asia/aid-to-pakistan...

US indeed has done a lot of bad shit, but I hold a leaders and formative agents of their own country to higher standards. Sure one can blame the US but what were their own leaders thinking when they consciously decided, this is the trajectory that is going to be helpful for the country.

And this to your other comment on this thread, I admire your will to engage in a dialogue. I have become much too jaded. Its as if people have become rigid and unquestioning of the history they want to believe in. Google Sunderlal report you I think will find it interesting.
