There is a vital difference between Karzai and Zardari.Karzai may be incompetent and is facing tough clan resistance, Zardari is an unwilling ,incompetent and leader(?) foisted on the people of Pakistan by skullduggery.He can not afford to go after militants as he is not sure of Army and Nawaz Sharief and their possible positions.Under the circumstances , aid to Pakistan will only be a charity- worse still breed more militancy.
As for as Karzai is concerned he needs money as well as hard ware to meet the threat.
But Pakistan needs both to fuel militancy as the political and army equations compel those in power over there to be what they are.
