News: Truck bombing at Pakistan's 'Marriott' Hotel had American citizens?

A truck explosion Saturday killed 53 and wounded at least 260+ in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad at a Marriott hotel. The blast was described by the government on Sunday as an attack on democracy. (NYTimes)

Apparently, there were many american citizens staying in the hotel at the time. The big thing here is, should the U.S government help out the corrupted, ally government of Pakistan? Now its obvious, we've went into countries to fix there problems before, even though it wasn't our business, however with Pakistan being an ally of the U.S, this is a tough decision for our government. Pakistan has said that they want to take care of this themselves. I personally think we here in America need to take care of our plethora of problems first before we even attempt to "catch" terrorists in corrupted countries, such as my falling home country, Pakistan :/

What's your guys thoughts?!
