Aid for Pakistan

Telegraph: Reports on a five billion aid plan for Pakistan, in essence to win the heart and minds of those that have been effected by the War between the the Army of Pakistan and the Taliban/Terrorists. This is an excellent move, it should be noted that this blog has argued for this kind of aid from the start, winning the War against the Taliban/Terrorists is important but you cant lose the people. Thus lets hope this aid to the civic society of Pakistan can help those that have been directly effected by the War, thus aid spent on schools, hospitals, local democracy, economic aid to those at the bottom of the civic structure of Pakistan. This is a good start, but its the start of a long road, it will be hard and difficult, the West can not lose Pakistan.
