Pakistan let us fly planes into Afghanistan (a landlocked country) looking for some guy named "Bin Laden" who is repsonsible for 9/11.
I would like to see Pakistan deal with the hardline Islamic schools (terrorist factories) and regulate them and shut down the radical ones. One of them is named "The School Of Jihad", they don't teach math or economics....
I see $51 mil goes a long way towards negating the falsehoods being spread around through the muslim world about the US. 8 choppers were diverted from Afghanistan to assist in rescue. Again I see a lot of positive coming from that.
Every kid saved on a US chopper makes a muslim family who will view and promote the US in a positive manner.
We need to win their hearts, there are over 1 billion of them. We simply don't have enough bullets, money or supply lines to beat them into submission militarily. And using Iraq as a measuring stick, we are unable to pummel them successfully in a manner which promote our ideals.
I hope that they don't divert the funds to anti-american activities. However Musharef seems very pro-western and a moderate.
