With the coming and going of each ruler of Pakistan, its apparent that the country’s instability can be blamed on it’s erratic governance. As reminded ever so often by Ardershir Cowasjee, a fact that only his readers will recognize, Jinnah predicted this when he prophesized that each government in Pakistan would be progressively worse.
The problem with Pakistan, is the endless tirade of conversation about the “situation” – hell even I’m guilty of that! Thing is, the people who do live there are too busy planning the next shadi, or outfit, or their next vacation abroad. And those who do take the time to so much as read the newspaper all live abroad. Solution? Obviously to actually do something with all the 'enlightened' (HA!) minds and pull them back to Pakistan. But who will take the first step?
The leaders fighting ever so fiercely to establish democracy are the same ones who were thrown out, and even jailed, for stepping over just that system of governance. It amazes me that we are even allowing anyone without a higher education, those with a police record and those who have barely lived in our country to have a say in any affairs at all. And on that note, someone needs to enlighten Little Bilawal that impeachment is not revenge – and one cannot claim democracy as “revenge for his or her mother’s murder”. Does he know that the militants who probably killed his mother, are the same that she helped build up?
Thing is, everyone is so busy trying to get their own personal vendetta attention, that they forget about the 170 million poor Pakistani’s they are screwing over in the process.
