<p>Stopping most foreign aid would be fine if that would really do anything. Attaching strings would be a better idea...let the people of Pakistan know how much we are aiding them...that way maybe it would really get to them not the politicians or other "leaders".

<p>Stopping most foreign aid would be fine if that would really do anything. Attaching strings would be a better idea...let the people of Pakistan know how much we are aiding them...that way maybe it would really get to them not the politicians or other "leaders". Let Egyptians know what we have given Egypt, maybe that way we would not be the "Great Satan". Seeing as how foreign aid makes up less than 5% of the budget (even that is generous), losing that would not really help the economic woes of this country.
