Me:
Erik, if you know how to develop Pakistan, there's a fairly prestigious
award handed out in Sweden waiting for you.  Good luck.  Giving money to bad
governments tends to strengthen the bad government.  I don't want to do
that.

Me again:
This came off stronger than I meant it - it was an echo of an old discussion
I've been having with someone else for a long time.  My point remains,
though - we _don't know how_ to develop these countries, and what little we
_do_ know (liberalize the economy and establish a free political system) the
governments _won't do_ - so how can our money help?
