I also think we do, but in relation to Pakistan we have the luxury of wealth to do so.

I’ like to say Bo**ocks but it’s not allowed. Look on a map; look at the size of that country and the length and complexity of its borders. The aggressors that threaten them are of our making for god sake and If they are poor, we may have had something to do with it and we most likely still take money out of the place. People die in this country because the NHS can’t afford the drugs that will keep them alive so are we really that rich?
