As far as Pakistan is concerned we better know that US is not providing the AID for economic or humanistic purpose.
From late 70s to early 90s US has increased the war-aid , previously the economic aid was dominating. Thanks to this AID and Ayub khan's brilliance that Pak rapidly fueled its economy.
After the fall of USSR in 90s US reduced its aid.
After 9/11 US again started aiding Pak to exterminate terrorism from the region ( as US wanted to take control of Afghanistan which she couldnt had without the support of Pak)
Since than Pak is getting aid from US more for fighting for her and less for survival...

If we briefly look at economic aid of US.........

In 2010, the US economic assistance to Pakistan equalled $1.8 billion. While the amount is indeed large, however on a per capita basis, this translates into a mere $10.3 for the 180-million Pakistanis. Should we believe that Pakistan’s survival has rested on a mere $10.3 per person in civilian assistance from the United States?


War aid......


According to the Government of Pakistan, the direct and indirect costs from Nato’s war in Afghanistan, which began on October 07, 2001, has reached over $68 billion. These economic losses are an order of magnitude higher than what the US has offered in economic and military assistance to Pakistan. And who to account for the 36,000-plus Pakistanis who have perished as a result of the Nato' war efforts in the region. A fair compensation would require the US to engage the United Nations to verify Pakistan’s claims and then reimburse Pakistan in full for proven claims....


well dears...

We have been trapped to accept this add, despite , it doesnt suffice our needs. we have to slowly and gradually come out of this trap .. and this can only be possible by utilizing our natural and labor resources ....
