Aid Pakistan's Civil Society, Not Pak Military
So now, it's not AfPak or PakAf but AllPak.
Hope the aid (through UN agencies and NGO) is all humanitarian, example development of infrastructure for schools and hospitals and a complete halt to drone strikes, which fuel Taliban and civilian recruitment and aggression.
The fewer foreign forces on the ground, the better.
However, the US still doesn't get it. The US must abandon its arbitrary, profit-oriented, self-appointed GlobalCop interventions.
