Pakistan..Again, why are we sending billions to the Pakistani's?? davidk14: . It’s all about the nuke’s. Remember this sentence after you read the following… http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/09/10/exclusive-jailed-doc-who-helped-nail-bin-laden-warns-us-seen-as-pakistan-worst/ Remember the first sentence of this post? . duncan124: -the link does n,t work. Unless you are saying it is some joke programers understand there is no story. Not least because the Pakistanis became a terrorist state and Bush wanted to help them so they died. Try this link to the far east. Topic: Politics lavendar_star: The UK sends aid to Pakistan also and in one way I can understand why the UK and the US sends aid to Pakistan as it is a third world country (despite it having money to make nuclear weapons) and it has a lot of poor people and we are good nations in trying to help. But at the same time I do think before Pakistan gets any aid our governments should make sure that Pakistan is really helping the poor people with the aid and that they are tackling terrorism if they are not then aid should stop. Are all Pakistani enemies of the US I dont know (seems to be a gross generalisation) and are the Pakistani government aiding or fighting terrorism!!! duncan the link works and we live both in the UK so yet again I have no idea what your on about. lol OCD_OCD: There are starving people all over the world that we send money to, but we can't save them all if their governments aren't helping them either. The other reason that we send Pakistan money is because they have the Bomb. It's more or less extortion because we don't want them popping off a nuclear at India. lavendar_star: Yes that's true lol about the bomb, which makes you think shouldn't country get their priorities right people before weapons and yes India is defo at risk from Pakistan. I mean the UK has a colonial history with Pakistan as well but that country does seem to be a feeding ground for fundamentalist relgious terrorist and if that government cant deal with that then we should at least cut the aid. OCD_OCD: But once we cut aid, we'll have to take out their nuclear capabilities. They pose too much risk otherwise. lavendar_star: Oh Gosh yes I know what you mean, no country should have nuclear weapons but the world is what it is and a country that seems to have extreme relgious elements in its government does pose a danger. I mean India is a far bigger country but Pakistan seems to be more aggressive. They had a case there recently where a guy faked a Christian girl had blasphemed and ripped the koran but he did it, thankfully they found it out but that country does seem to be go like Iran and Saudi Arabia. Also they kicked out aid workers from there also (because of the Bin laden thing) so they cant be too concerned and about their poor citizens. (Edited by lavendar_star) OCD_OCD: They care nothing about them. It amazes me why we bother caring and sending aid to countries who are ruled by religious zealots or mad tyrants or brutal tribal leaders, but we do. I'm not sure whether it's doing any good, though. If we send money, the money is taken and used by the tyrants. If we send food and medicines, it's kept by the military. I don't know the answer and it is very depressing, isn't it? lavendar_star: Yes it is very depressing, I mean maybe we need to send a advisor of some sort to watch and take account on where the money is going and no matter what they say if they dont allow us to do that then we wont send the aid. It is difficult because people in my country and I'm sure in the States are becoming resentful and its understandable but when you see your fellow humans suffering its decent being a rich country to help a less fortunate one. OCD_OCD: And even by being decent humans and trying to alleviate their suffering, we sometimes end up giving more power and materials to their oppressors. It's never-ending. lavendar_star: lol well its says how Pakistan is anti American and consider it a worse enemy then India according the doctor jailed by the Pakistani government for helping with the Bin Laden raid but why dont you just go to the link and read for your self duncan. lavendar_star: Oh duncan, well its parts of the Pakistani government or maybe all of it who rather spend money on weapons then on its poorer citzens and the very conservative fundamentalist Muslim clerics. OCD_OCD: Your internet is being watched and censored, Duncan. "They" are keeping the truth from you. duncan124: You are talking nonsense Lavendar, if that is worrying you? Why did Davidk set up this thread that doesn't work? Is he a terrorist? lavendar_star: I may not get on with david but I am confident he is not a terrorist and the link and this thread does work the link just doesnt work for you duncan, you should go to the Fox news homepage and search their website to find the story. duncan124: Confident huh? Its not another of Davidks sick jokes about how you are getting a free chat room, free housing and benefits for food in Berlin while Americans have died? | Politics Chat Room 57 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
