Value of Pakistan to the World
Ever since its birth, Pakistan as a country have been favourite of the West and also of China to
certain extent. Since the time of Liaquat Ali Khan till the time of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and then from there till today America has treated Pakistan as its Blue-eyed boy.
But at the peak of crisis Pakistan has been left alone with no real friend. Even China who has recently been supporting Pakistan with Nuke Technology has not gone deep to help the poor flood victims of Pakistan.
People of Pakistan in its very recent history has been loving China, and think China is its best friend, but the fact is that China has not given an aid of of anything more than £6.5 million. While Japan who enjoys close ties with India has donated £9.3 million (exclusing loan of 300 trooops and 8 and the US who spends billions of US Dollars in weapons and equipments on Pakistan has been the highest donor with £96 million. It should be noted that about 54% of people of Pakistan thinks USA as its worst enemy and again it goes without saying they think China is their best friend.
Going back to history after helping USA win the cold war in Afghanistan against the Soviets, Pakistan became the Most Sanctioned country in the world – thanks to USA.
Often it is seen that countries like USA and China have exploited Pakistan to push its own agenda, and the leadership of Pakistan has followed them blindly. None of these countries have ever thought of helping the poor and hungry of Pakistan.
In wake of all this, Britain who Pakistanis feel is their enemy – has donated £60 million and British People have personally donated / pledged over £29 million.
Does this mean that to International Community of Politicians, Pakistan is a country worth nothing more than a feeble, its more like a Use-and-Throw paper cup.
People of Pakistan have always been hostile towards India, but I believe no man should face this kind of disaster alone, so I have donated to UNICEF who provides food and shelter to children in affected region. Here’s the link – please donate as in 21st century no one should die of hunger.

With all sympathies for the people of Pakistan in their current sufferring, the fact remains that their governments kept successfully exploiting the good wills of other countries. The other countries did not use it as “Use-and-Throw paper cup”; rather the other way around.
