Re: Pakistan- From the American People Themselves...

God apparently doesn't like those towel heads either.

As ye do to the least of these so do you also to me..Jesus.

If militant aid groups are bring in food and aid, we need to disrupt their aid groups logistics. Take the aid to the people ourselves, torn from the hands of terrorists. Their is a guerrilla motto, our enemies weapons are our own. We should use this motto and take their aid and get the credit ourselves.

I would like to know what countries sent us relief money during Katrina or our oil spill. Or any other disaster in history that we've had hit our country? Any Middle Eastern Countries in that tiny handful of countries? Nope? I didn't think so. But if there are any, by all means, please correct my assumptions. I'd be willing to bet however, that even if Pakistan were a thriving country and were not politically involved with us, that we would not ever see a penny from them...Maybe a bomb though. Its unfortunate for the innocent people who do live there but since they have no power over their government, I can't see even trying to help them. The government will just take it all back. Such a shame!

Other countries that support Pakistan will surely be able to provide humanitarian aid. Like maybe their allies? Saudi Arabia, Turkey, China and to an extent Iran.

Why does the US have to fix everything?

those darn israeli's! tsk tsk! starting floods again! first the Egyptians at the red sea..now this?!

This is the work of God, they are doing things God don't like, watch out he's not done, Get it together or it's gonna get worse, we need to all get along theirs no reason not to. this world is so big we can make it work, get it together people lets help each other out, we could do so much and have so much fun if we'd just get along.

Miter
Yay less terrorists! Go nature!!

HeyU
Of course the U.S. will step in and help as we always do. I for one feel that we should do nothing to help them. They hate us, want to destroy us. We have our own needs to take care of. Clean our own backyard before we ask others to clean theirs. Let them call on allah to help. God helps those who help themselves.

Gary
Yeah lets give them tons of money to rebuild there terrorist training camps. Do any of you liberal idiots really think that any of this money is going to the poor people that need it. I feel bad for the children, and disasters suck, but just wondering did Pakistan help out any of our poor people down south with Katrina & now the oil spill... Yeah I didn't think so!!!

parasm
America needs to take care of there own problems and even if we do send money it wont make an effect. In a corrupt government you never know where the money will end up.

I'm conflicted on America sending money. for one its money we dont even have and will probably end up borrowing from china. On the other hand sending aid is the right thing to do. But i just cant get past the fact that most countries over there hate us until they need us.and then once we save them they go back to hating us.

David
1.5 million from China? Oh yeah, they loaned all their money to us.

Maybe all that rain will wash put obama...I mean osama!!

Since when is every international problem automatically America's problem? This is no new scenario, but it is one that could stand to be reformed in a manner that is not biased by any political agendas.

First you help your family, and if you have the resources to help a friend or two you help them as well. We as a family, as citizens of the United States, are struggling. It is not wrong to want to help your family first and this message has been distorted by the countless numbers preaching about greed when they have little understanding of the word.

I'm sure the majority of American would like to help, because as rationally minded people, we know they are just families like yours and mine without hate. This does not mean we can just send the money we work hard for to maintain our way of living overseas to promote a certain view about ourselves. We must first protect our family, our citizens, of the United States of America.

ebob
Islamabad? Sounds like it, but who am I to judge.

Gene
All that money will be taken by the Taliban and used for their needs not for the peoples. Pakistans has a corrupt government that does not care about their own people. Hopefully many Taliban and their cohorts were consumed by those floods. Karma is Hell!!!

This is a terrible circumstance for many good people of the nation of Pakistan. God uses natural disasters to humble and build the character of His children. We should not automatically judge this disaster as a judgment from God against the people of Pakistan.

WE GOTTO HELP THEM , WE HAVE TO KEEP THEM SAVE AND KEEP THERE NUCKS OUT OF ISLUM HANDS !!!!! WE CANT AFORD NOT TO !

MPI 31
Send them aid, HELL NO!! These people hate us. Don't send them a penny

GEORGE H
ask osama bin laden for help not the u.s.

Its in our best political interest to "play nice" because we need them to help us fight radical islam over in the middle east. But their government is just as corrupt as ours and the people distributing aid are only distributing to their buddies and associates in need. So as usual, their government is useless to help them and if we want to continue our efforts there, we need to help out. How American of us to help every other country but not our own. Victims of 9/11 were denied medical help for long term damage from the dust and particles that feel that day. The government said no to their pleas for help. But we can spend millions and billions helping other countries rebuild after their disasters? I'm torn. Politically, I think we need to help them. But at what cost to our own country. When do we begin to look out for our own. I would never let me child starve so I could feed another child. But if I could feed both, would I? Absolutely! The US can't feed their own though. So why are we extending help to everyone else?

Bite Me
god is sending them a message.

When do "we the people who pay taxes" get to decide how our funds are used? We have needs in THIS country: Katrina victims, Tennesse floods, double digit unemployment ...just to name a FEW things. I'm sad for their suffering, but we have our own suffering to take care of.

MindshiftJoeSanDiego
I'm just wondering how many more millions we're going to send these people who hate us.


Romper 35
Lets give them all kinds of money so there corrupt government can keep it for themselves instead of helping out victims.


Kid Somerville
Seriously people, you need to chill out. Just because there are terrorists in these nations it does not mean that EVERY person living there is one. There are innocent men, women, and children that need help too. Stop being so @#$% selfish.

Lee 36
If we donate money it will just be stolen. Let them suffer maybe then they will realize that radical extremist islam doesn't work well for a society. It doesn't place a high value on human life. Help yourselves Pakistan.
