Pakistani civilians prepare to board a U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter during an evacuation mission in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan on August 5, 2010. The U.S. military is conducting humanitarian and disaster relief missions to assist Pakistanis in flood-stricken regions; floods have claimed more than 1,500 lives. Concerns have been raised that the Pakistani government's inadequate response efforts could fuel unrest and boost the appeal of militant groups, which could threaten U.S. security interests in the region.
“Just based on our troops in the region, our goals in the region, our work with allies like India in the region — anything that destabilizes Pakistan or affects its government's ability to keep control of the country has enormous stakes for the United States on the security side,” CNAS fellow Christine Parthemore said on NPR's All Things Considered earlier this week.
