Pakistan is facing a multidimensional critical situation now-a-days. The American Congress has approved a draft of support bill for Pakistan presented by Senator John Kerry and Senator Luger. There are so many contradictions in Pakistan regarding the contents of this bill and the words used in this bill depicting the conditions/bindings on Pakistan. Let’s have a fair analysis of this issue.
How great is the actual amount?
The total amount of this support bill is about 1.5 Billion US Dollars amounting about 120 Billion Pakistan rupees. It is to help build infrastructure of communications, education and etc. It means that 10 Billion Pakistan rupee per month and thirty three crore per day. Dividing this amount at the population will give the answer of about 2.0 rupees per day. What to do with this amount?
Important Intention of USA behind this Bill
The intentions of USA described in the bill are being discussed but one very important intention is not being felt and discussed. Through this nominal support, they want Pakistan to always be their dependant. When they will keep on funding us like this peanut, we will never go to explore our natural resources.
Eye on our Natural Resources
Pakistan is the most mineral rich country in the region. Before us USA knows that there are huge natural resources located in Balochistan, Sindh and Punjab. USA has hundred times more need and consumption of these resources than us and does not want us to explore these natural resources. Just coal explored in Thar, Sindh, is of about many times more than this aid.
Tax Resources
In a recent interview, the Head of Federal Board of Revenue, Mr. Abdullah Yousaf said that if there is no political influence and tax theft in Pakistan, an amount of about 800 Billion of Pakistan rupees can be collected, While USA is about to give us 600 Billion rupees. Why to go for that.
Shameful attitude of the Government
The government was, initially, claiming that it is a great achievement of the government to have such bill passed/approved by the congress. When it started criticism on it by all stakeholders, government took an immediate turn and said that it is their internal bill which they have passed for themselves. Army was concerned on some content which according to them was included after army has reviewed. So in all this issue, there are many turns by the government which are not acceptable.
What we really need?
We have all the required resources whether human or natural. What we merely need is a loyal, devoted, visionary, honest and committed leadership. Unfortunately, so far, we don’t have. Let’s hope and pray for such leader so that we may also be self sufficient and not dependent on USA who is just an exploiter.

An exploiter?
The US wants Pakistani coal?
You need to do some proper research.
You'd find out that the United States sits on top of some of the largest deposits of coal in the world, so your logic is faulty.
The United States does not need your coal, we have our own. The reason Pakistan does not have "loyal, devoted, visionary, honest and committed leadership" is due to the Pakistani people. People like you who would prefer to assign blame instead of accepting responsibility.
May be Micheal is true about the coal deposits but still everyone knows that America loves to dominate others
@Bilal,
You cite zero evidence of said "domination" and resort to name calling when confronted with facts.
Here's another fact:
The United States has no vested interest in Kashmir, nothing to gain in the bloodshed continuing, yet, I'm certain that in some illogical way, you feel that's our fault as well.
It was the British that occupied Pakistan, was it not?
