The Times: Reports on recent remarks by the President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari, the President stated that Pakistan needs a hundred billion dollars to fight back against Islamic Terrorists, but at the minimum Pakistan needs two billion to break the education hold of these terrorists. This is about winning hearts and minds of the young of Pakistan, at present the Islamic terrorists through their schools can twist the Muslim religion to convince the young to fight and die for the terrorists. As stated many times, there is need for a massive civic programme in the badlands of the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, there is the need for hope, thus the in the long term the West should save money by pumping money in to this region, thus new secular schools should be built, hospitals, new roads, show some light to the poor people of Pakistan. If the secular state of Pakistan fails the cost to the West could be more than a one hundred billion dollars. It is time for policy makers to think long term, invest now and save lives in the future.
