| Summary |
Following the Soviet withdraw from Afghanistan, a reassessment of the U.S.-Pakistan strategic partnership led to the U.S. severely cutting aid to Pakistan. The drawdown of U.S. forces from Afghanistan should be seen as an opportunity to reform the U.S.-Pakistan partnership, not a pretext to allow it to crumble. It is no surprise that in this time of fiscal constraint some U.S. lawmakers are considering cutting or otherwise restricting aid to Pakistan. However, there is a limit to what financial incentives and disincentives can achieve. When developing a more effective Pakistan policy, U.S. decision-makers must keep in mind that Washington and Islamabad have differing and even conflicting strategic viewpoints. The U.S. must continue to seek ways to build trust while countering misperceptions. In the frustrating, complex process of working with Pakistan, it is tempting to simply walk away, writing Pakistan off as rogue state. This would be a mistake. National security demands the U.S. continue to engage Pakistan to address these nuclear threats |
