Talking tough to Pakistan
Talking tough to Pakistan
America gives Pakistan billions of dollars in aid each year. Pakistan returns the favor by harboring terrorists, spreading anti-Americanism, and selling nuclear technology. In the current issue of Foreign Affairs, FSI's Stephen D. Krasner makes the case for telling Islamabad to start cooperating or lose its aid and face isolation.
Krasner, who was director of policy planning at the State Department between 2005 and 2007, was recently appointed to a panel of experts who will advise Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. FSI advisory board member Nina Hachigian is also one of the 25 members of the newly created Foreign Affairs Policy Board, which will weigh in on pressing issues before the State Department.
