$1
Billion Yearly US Assistance to Pakistan
is Small Compensation for Huge losses
Pakistan suffers in helping the US win
the Cold War.
What is disturbing is that nearly 60%
of this money is going towards reimbursing
the Pakistani military for its role in
the War on Terror through coalition support
funds.
Education, a key ingredient to win the
war on terror on long-term basis, comes
in at only a dismal 3.4%of total US assistance.
A much larger portion of the US taxpayer's
money must be designated for helping Pakistan
immediately start compulsory Basic and
Primary Education to EVERY child in Pakistan.
This is the ONLY way to win the war on
terror by spending least amount of money
and ensuring long-lasting results.

American Leadership Center
PAL-C's commitment to building awareness
and educating Members of Congress
on issues important to Pakistani
Americans have made it a reputable
and recognized name on Capitol Hill
with an office right next door to
the Heritage Foundation. Without
the continued support of the community
to such an important cause, PAL-C
will not be able to reach its ultimate
potential – a loss that will
affect each and every Pakistani
American today and in the future.
