The United States is sending $100 million in aid to Pakistan to help alleviate the plight of the estimated 2 million people displaced by the offensive against Taliban extremists, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced Tuesday.

The money comes on top of $60 million in assistance already provided by the United States to Pakistan since last August.

According to the White House, the United States will send:

• $20 million to provide family relief kits, tents, FM radios, and generators to provide light and water;
• $26 million for the immediate purchase of local wheat, other food, and related items;
• $17 million for 50,000 tons of wheat slated to arrive in May and June;
• $10 million to respond to United Nations emergency appeals;
• $15 million to ship food items such as lentils, dried peas, and other basic foodstuffs; and
• $12 million to fund an emergency response center.

Totally agree, its all about showing the rest of the world how powerful we are, showing them how strong and how "wealthy?" we are.
and these battles in Middle east will never end.
while we Americans just sit home and slowly rot.
