Commentary: Aid cut to harm terror war

Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher appraised a Senate panel on Thursday that suspension of aid to Pakistan would harm the ongoing war on terror. The debate in the Congress indicates that US will not cut military aid to Pakistan.

In my opinion, if US continues its military aid to Pakistan , it will not able to bring democratic reforms. The continuation of military will keep the pockets of Pakistani military general full of money and they will not think about democratic reforms.

It looks the US is only about its interests in the regions. All their rhetoric about bring reforms in dictatorial regimes are ploys to please American public.

US should instead grant aid for the development of democratic institutions in the country. It should be ensured that the grant reached the people of the country rather than in the hands of the military generals who have amassed wealth over the years. America should also try to increase educational scholarships and increased students visa.
