This refers to the editorial, “Pakistan’s hope grounded” (May 5). Perhaps the US got the message: The largesse it has been giving to Pakistan were being used not to combat terrorism, but against India. The US must not capitulate to the monkey bluff of Pakistan: That the latter can purchase arms from those like Russia and China. However, Pakistan is unlikely to do so as it will have to spend gargantuan amounts to grab the deal. Right now, it owes huge debts to various international agencies, including the International Monetary Fund.
