#pakistan: A black hole for foerign aid

Providing aid to the Islamic Republic of pakistan with an aim to uplift it from dire impoverishment, even while effecting cuts in your own country's social welfare programmes, is an exercise in futility that simply helps aiding corruption by lining up the pockets of pakistan's rich and extremely powerful Army and feudal lords [for whom the practice of keeping bonded labors and slaves continue to form part of their entitlements] who pocket the maximum portion of the billions of dollars in foreign aid that pakistan receives from well-meaning donor countries.
