I think there is nothing to be worried about in the Kerry-Lugar bill. It will help Pakistan to achieve economic progress. 1.5 billion dollars of aid ( not loan ) does not come without any terms or conditions attached. The opposition is just doing political point scoring because they dont have any other issue to hassle over. If Pakistan has enough money in its exchequer then there is no need for U.S. aid; but if the coffers are empty then this aid has to be accepted. Senator Kerry and Vice president Biden have worked hard to get this bill approved. It would be a real shame if Pakistan does not accept its terms and conditions which are mostly pro-democracy. If Kerry-Lugar bill is such a matter of national pride and honour then there is a question where does the national pride go when people commit suicide due to hunger and lack of food? Where does the honour go when people have to spend hours in queues to get flour and sugar? Pakistan must accept this bill with thanks.
