EIN News says, "U.S. to Cut Aid to Pakistan Military Units Over Human Rights Abuses. The U.S. government plans to cut military aid to several Pakistani military units as punishment for human rights abuses, including torture and extrajudicial executions, according to senior officials. (guardian.co.uk)".
Good move for the wrong reason. We should not be giving military aid to Pakistan or any other country. We are not in the business of nationbuilding. We have enough difficulty right now in rebuilding our own nation from the serious destruction caused by Democratic/Socialistic actions.
Human rights abuses, including torture and extrajudicial executions, will continue on a worldwide basis no matter what the US government thinks or does. The answer is to maintain within the US a constitutional human rights program, and invite immigration on a controlled basis to those persons who are being subjected to those hardships in their home countries. Simultaneously, we must consider a limitation on numbers and quality of immigrants. This is no different than persons trying to take in all available stray cats and dogs, when those persons are unable to handle their own livelihood.
