If you want them to quit supporting the Taliban, help the people of Pakistan recover from this earthquake that happened almost one year ago.
That would certainly be money better spent than sending our brothers & sisters to Iraq to be killed on the streets in a Liar's War.
At least 1.8 million survivors of last year's massive earthquake in Pakistan are to spend a second harsh Himalayan winter in makeshift shelters, aid agency Oxfam has said.
The 7.6-magnitude quake on October 8, 2005 killed more than 74,000 people and left 3.5 million homeless. Aid agencies say they prevented deaths from disease and cold last winter but fear for survivors this time around.
"With snow already falling, this winter seems to have arrived early," said Farhana Faruqi Stocker of Oxfam International on Wednesday.
Only 17 percent of people living in the 450,000 households destroyed or severely damaged by the quake have started building permanent homes, Oxfam said, quoting government estimates.
