The Obama administration is looking to turn crisis into opportunity,
hoping its robust response to the devastating floods in Pakistan will help
improve its poor image among a skeptical Pakistani public.
Since the floods arrived, the United States has been opening the flood
gates of aid, starting with an initial pledge of $10 million in
humanitarian relief. U.S. disaster experts were dispatched to Pakistan,
and American helicopters fanned out across the affected area, airlifting
people to safety and delivering supplies. At Pakistan's request, four
Chinook and two Black Hawk helicopters are on the way.
Lest Pakistanis think the United States isn't sensitive to their Muslim
traditions, Washington sent more than 300,000 halal - or, by Islamic
dietary law - meals to the country, along with water filtration systems.
And the United States is building bridges in Pakistan. Literally. The U.S.
has offered to build temporary replacements for highway bridges damaged by
flooding in the country.
<snip>
The U.S. relationship with Pakistan, which it views as a strategically
important country, continues to be a work-in-progress. Since taking
office, the Obama administration has spent a huge amount of time, effort
and money in outreach to Pakistanis and has promised not just aid, but a
commitment of partnership. The struggle is convincing Pakistan that U.S.
interests are aligned with its own.
