To the editor:

I read recently that the U.S. was going to cancel $800 millions of Foreign Aid to Pakistan! I Google’d “U.S. Foreign Aid”! The web site that I was directed to :www.parade.com/news/intelligence-report/archive/who-gets-foreign-aid.html! In the same report I heard that Pakistan is one of two major “Nuclear Threats” in the Mid East! To my surprise, we are providing aid to over 150 countries! When the information came up, it listed the top 10 countries receiving aide! Israel-$2.4 billion, Egypt-$1.7 billion, million, and so on! Note: The information that was given was dated Dec. 14, 2008! Why are we providing aid to 150 countries when we have needs here?
