Letters: But there’s money for Pakistan

Re “Upsurge in ill-will for U.S.,” June 29

Every year, the U.S. channels hundreds of millions of dollars in military and economic aid to Pakistan. This includes aid to combat Pakistan’s “crippling power crisis” and for “improving its weak educational system.”

This week, many U.S. cities suffering a brutal heat wave have been hit by power outages — certainly a “crippling power crisis.” In addition, perhaps the administration could spare a few million to aid California’s failing educational system.
