Great Regulars: What we've seen is that the way that the world responded

to the other disasters you mentioned, such as the tsunami and the earthquake in Haiti, hasn't been replicated here. We know that the United Nations said that if you work out all the money pledged to the victims of the Haiti eathquake, if you work it out per person, it amounts to about $450 per Haitian. But if you work out the amount of money pledged to Pakistan, it works out to about $3 per person. There is a distinct lack of trust when it comes to the government in Pakistan.
