This is not as terrible as you think.
I'm not annoyed at the people who have lost homes and families, futures and security in the wake of the terrible floods that have struck the nation. I'm annoyed at the Pakistanis who are somehow blaming the USA for this.
The US, the largest contributor the the United Nations Relief Fund, are being called out for not giving enough. Firstly, fuck you. The only obligation any nation has to another nation is a moral one. They don't HAVE to give any money or aid at all if they don't want to.
Secondly, you threatening America with a "Give us more or we're going to stop supporting the war on terror" isn't a particularly well thought out threat. Not only would this be counter-productive within your own country, where, you know, the bombings and attacks occur; but would also drive a wedge between you and the most powerful democratic nation on earth. Which, in summation, means they're gonna feel less obligated to help you out next time you suffer a natural disaster which your weak economy and poorly led government has no idea how to handle, leaving thousands, possibly millions to die.
So good luck with that.
A little advice, when you're suffering from the biggest catastrophe your nation has ever known, it's best not to drive away those who are offering you assistance and asking for virtually nothing in return (apart from your continued support in their efforts to stop your countrymen from being brutally exploded.)
