America's need for donor conferences, pomp and circumstance is making it tough on winning the hearts and minds. No doubt, helping in Pakistan will help the corrupt, the Taliban. Taliban is claiming more than 100,000 volunteers deployed. They also claimed they killed 10 aid workers -volunteer doctors, staff- because they were Christians. Faith based -hero- assassinations.
No. Say the Afghan police, they were robbed, in the heart of the old Northern Alliance home base near Tajikistan. Once, one would find the Taliban getting in and out of that region alive, far more amazing then the claimed killing of innocent healers.
Often inferred, the old Northern Alliance is said to have left Afghanistan, except to come back for their graft, fly back out. With the once thought hopeless mission of ending corruption, Afghanistan is making real progress, capturing funds headed out. With these hard benchmarks, Why are we not in helping Pakistan with all we have. Were we to multiply the aid already delivered to Pakistan flood victims by ten, we will only scratch the surface. If the Taliban produce fifty percent of aid they have claimed, Pakistan is lost.
