Toon: Who REALLY needs that money?

1. This cartoonist has no clue how much of a potential disaster is there

in Pakistan. They have no clue how strong and successful the forces of radical Islam are in Pakistan and seems oblivious to the risks that the nuclear weapons that Country possesses pose to the rest of the world if they fall into the wrong hands. Risks that make being out of a job look like a stroll in the park.

3. Yes, but who took us down this path?Yes, there were a bunch of Americans, some of them un-employed

now, who were all gung ho for these current illegal immoral Proxy Wars that are extenuating factors in re Pakistan, but there are also folk like me. I have been in favor of an international organization to control the proliferation of nuclear weapons ever since I was 16 years old, and I have said so to anyone I could get to listen, AND demonstrated publicly on numerous occasions and now, through no fault of my own, indeed, inspite of the fact that I am truly a superior employee, I'm out of work and I'm old, but not old enough, so things aren't looking so good for me, though they look quite fine for folk like Hilary and Bill who, short of the worst thing ever, and in spite of crimes like NAFTA, are ALWAYS going to do real well no matter how bad their work is, so, OF COURSE!!!, they think Pakistan SHOULD receive what, from my perspective looks like only one of many installments on one hell of a lot of blackmail money.

Clinton Announces $7.5 Billion in Aid For Pakistan


The projects will include two energy dams, various drinking water and irrigation projects, as well as the building of health centres and schemes to improve agriculture and private sector income. They are part of a five-year $7.5 billion funding approved by the US Congress last year and a key part of the effort by the US administration to engage more fully with Pakistan, which has long seen Washington as interested only in securing its military cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
