Subj: RE: American Policy in AfPak region
Not that I am a great fan of America but generalizations are always wrong.
Which countries have Americans been to?
Let us see.
Germany 1945-: Saved them from starvation and helped them to become arguably the strongest economy in the World.
Japan 1945-
Same as above.
South Korea 1951-
Certainly helped South Korea become a world class industrial power.
The things to keep in mind are:
They don't do anything for charity but for self-interest
Countries that have managed to align their self-interest to that of America have prospered from Americans being there.
Countries that have pursued foolish policies often based on misplaced national pride, religion and pure lack of interest in helping themselves have been left in a mess (precisely what Pakistanis have done in the past and are doing now).
Finally can you tell me which other so called great powers have practiced this in any other way? Done it better then the Americans.
Would you rather be occupied by Russians like East Germany?

Americans cannot stay there for ever, they will eventually go.
I don't think it will be in the best interest of pakistan. After 18 months the american forces will pull out of the region. Afghanistan will never be stable, it never has been based on its history. We are going to see more radical elements coming back. There is no easy answer.

[mukto-mona] Fwd: American Policy in AfPak region
That has been their practice in all the countries they have been to. I came, I screwed up, I bugged out!
And we will be left holding mess.
This is inevitable, so the sooner the better

I was at a State dept briefing in DC on Tuesday. They are giving 7.8 billion in Aid to Pakistan.
On being asked I adviced them like many Pakistanis have in the past - not to go through the government but have US give directly to education, energy and infra structure purposes.
They have this planned and are way ahead of the curve!

The only way America can win this war is to go all out on a goodwill mission. Instead of spending 30 billion on war and ammunition, only 10 billion spent on public works, reconstruction of roads, schools, hospitals and setting up small industry would work in America's way. People in that region are hard working and industrious. All they need is better education, guidance, and financial assistance to be more constructive than destructive.
That has been their practice in all the countries they have been to. I came, I screwed up, I bugged out!
And we will be left holding mess.
This is inevitable, so the sooner the better
