And what will Pakistan do with such an IMF loan? The Generals would siphon off most of it to buy their palatial Dubai houses and London condos. Until Pakistan cleans up its act, giving it more loans it throwing good money after bad.

Next door to other world leaders doing the same? Is that truly our motivation for not transferring the money? Some generals might illicitly buy houses?

I'm sure "The Generals" are going to help there.

Abandoning them entirely as hostages is not acceptable.


If you find it unacceptable why don't you go fly over there and do volunteet work and donate your money to fund schools and education?


I had sort of hoped our Democracy would afford for a more effective approach. If you find those generals so onerous why don't you go fly over there and assassinate them?


The parent comment is suggesting sanctioning them, not giving them IMF loans.


It took me 5 rereads before I properly read "should" instead of "would", which totally flips the implication!
