one thing amazes me about Pakistanis- In their initial years and upto the last decade, they clung on to the americans and looked to them for everything. I guess the initial phase was justified given the bipolarity of the world and it was obvious that they would go into the American camp since India had embraced the Soviets.
But Pakistanis, instead of learning from the americans and them inplementing those learnigns to develop their industry and education system, chose to remain subservient and dependant.
when America started making tough demands or when sanctions folowed, what did Pakistan do- instead of focussing on self sufficiency and economic development, simply sought out another support system in the name of China.
Today we see Pakistani members eulogising everything China does and achieves withiout realising that China is merely using them like the yanks did earlier. their fawning over china even blinds them to the extreme hatred that the average chinese has towards Muslims in China- yes that is true and I can say this with some degree of authority, having grown up in Singapore and having Chinese ancestry on my mother's side and family ties in mainland China.
Pakistanis have never even attempted to become self reliant and have looked at others to bail them out, without accepting the fact that there are no free lunches in this world- everyone works on their own vested interests and are simply using Pakistan. and your army and political leadership is in on this and enjoying the fruits at the expense of the populace. It is a sad state of affairs when the army is seen as the panacea for all ills in the country, when that same army has failed the country time and again and has only been self serving.
Alas, it may already bee too late for Pakistan. I know a lot many members here will flame me for this and make claims that we are a resilient bunch, history has always shown that we come out of messy situations etc. etc. but unless people recognise the reality, there is no hope for the populace.
gud post... but hope will be read without any derails.
