Default Little Aid Forthcoming for Pakistan?

There's a pretty lively discussion going on at KOS about the fact that,
relatively speaking, little aid is flowing to Pakistan to help with that
country's disaster relief.


Yep, billions on military and nuclear weapons. But no money for the
people. Do you think the Muslims will thank the west?

Speaking of which, has other Muslim nations ever helped their own? We
are in Canada and the US in debt up the wazoo and Pakistan only owes $50
billion give or take.

Don't we have some of our own problems that could use the money such as
a few decaying and unsafe bridges? Or perhaps some corruption to
investigate?
