A Very Tight Rope to Walk in the Middle East

On Fox News there is an article about a man who is part of the embassy staff over in Pakistan who was detained after shooting two people who were mugging him.  Despite the fact that there were witnesses who said he shot the men in self-defense AND he has diplomatic immunity, the Pakistani's are charging him with murder.  On one hand we want to keep Pakistan as an ally in the East but on the other hand they cant just do whatever it is they want to do and disregard our laws all while getting BILLIONS of dollars in funding from the US.  While I dont disagree that they are a very good ally over in that part of the world we are also dumping billions into Iraq to rebuild it.  Why not stand up for ourselves, cut Pakistani funding and send that to help our infrastructure in Iraq.  We could make that country a much better base for our counter-terrorism operations and not have to deal with all the political backlash that comes with Pakistan.  Theyre recieving billions of dollars in aid for education and defense but as of late arent delivering on their end of the deal.  If the Pakistanis hadnt detained Davis(the American) in the first place like they did the attention wouldnt have been so high and escalated to what it is now.  Unfortunately theyre trying to feel out their boundaries with the US and it looks like its going to cost them a lot of money or the US is going to do something theyre oh too well known for, make a horrible decision by leaving a man behind.
