Pakistan does have a very high inflation rate. They need to attack inflation, and unemployment and poverty will fall along with the inflation rate.

How does a "MUST SEE!" thread have 2 replies and yet only 10 views

Just another example of where blowback comes from. If Americans really think that not one of those 72% will pick up arms to use against our troops then what else can ya say...

We should send them more inflation!

I'm actually surprised at the 24% that agree with U.S. military incursions. What kind of Pakistanis are these? Are they a religious minority, enemies with the tribespeople getting killed in the remote control plane bomb raids or something?

Because the tribal areas are full of dangerous terrorists.. Well, they do have a few. Pakistan has their share of terrorism, but even of those who agree they should be attacking, the majority seem to think that inflation or unemployment is a bigger issue.

Inflation is obviously caused by capitalists. They need to take up our policy and print money.

Have we sent them a loan from the friendly IMF? We can charge them a high interest rate and have them sign over their natural resources as collateral. We won't cause their country to collapse, it'll help them! Why would we want to indenture them like that, why not? (we need a evil grin smiley)
