The largest U.S. military aid program, Foreign Military Financing
(FMF), increased by 68% between 2001 and 2003, from $3.5 billion to
nearly $6 billion. These years coincided with the aftermath of the 9/11
attacks and the run-up to the U.S. intervention in Iraq. The biggest
increases in dollar terms went to countries that were directly or
indirectly engaged as U.S. allies in the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan,
including Jordan ($525 million increase from 2001 to 2003), Afghanistan
($191 million increase), Pakistan ($224 million increase) and Bahrain
($90 million increase). The Philippines, where the United States
stepped up joint operations against a local terrorist group with
alleged links to al-Qaeda, also received a substantial increase of FMF
funding ($47 million) from 2001 to 2003. Military aid totals have
leveled off slightly since their FY 2003 peak, coming in at a requested
$4.5 billion for 2006. This is still a full $1 billion more than 2001
levels. The number of countries receiving FMF assistance nearly doubled
from FY 2001 to FY 2006-- from 48 to 71.

Oh and if we give ti to Pakistan then we gotta be fair and give the
same to india.
