ABSTRACT
We have to demonstrate to the Pakistani people that we care about their needs, progress and interests…I believe…that we should be tripling our non-military assistance. We should sustain that commitment for a 10-year period. We should be focused on helping you build schools and roads and health care centers and dealing with the infrastructure of the entire country…The single most important thing is for Pakistan parties to get their house in order (Senator Joseph Biden, proposing a massive increase in non-military aid to Pakistan, 19 February 2008).
