This hard country

Are you retarded? We are in a war, its a miracle we are growing at 2%
You were at war too during Mushhraf's time but your economy grew above 5%. Lets put war out of it as it is common denominator between the past and present situation.

Simple. The Zardari government has set new records in corruption and on top of that has made no attempt to manage the economy. What little effort that has been made is marked by incompetance managed by inept people. now that we have 'Rental Rajah' in PM slot things are not going to get any beter.

The governments favourite line is 'democracy is best form of revenge' which translates into 'government of the people for the revenge on the people'.

Musharaf was a dictator and indeed there was corruption then as well but he did have some very able technocrats managing the economy. At one stage I think the economy was growing at almost 7% under him.

I give you some taste of what is happening. Despite year on year increase in demand for electricity production is now well below installed capacity because bills have not been settled with suppliers who have reduced generation. Government's answer? Under then then power minister 'Rental Raja'. Contract foreign or local rental production units which would be either oil or gas fired.

These mobile units, some in form of ships were contracted amidst massive kickbacks with large chunks going to 'Rental Rajah'. The price per unit was astronomical. Result bills went up and power production hardly increased because more of the established plants were shut down to make space for the rented units. now industry is facing loadshedding. Factories have reduced or shut down because of power shortgages.

While all this goes on the governments copngratulates itself on nearly completing 5 year term and is busy plundering as much money as possible. I am even surprised the the growth is 2%?

Surviving and developing are two different things. Even Zimbabwe, Ethiopia are surviving nation...

No one is questioning your will to survive and fight to get out of this situation, its about beyond it.

If Pakistan has to get the best out of its strategic location and resources, its the time otherwise delay may lead it to a completely different path.

That's what is the question.

There are people who fight cancer all their life, and fight it well.. their body deteriorates, their organs slowly fail.. but they show resilience.. putting up a smile to the world to see.
They do however, tend to die earlier than other people.. and their death.. when the lymph nodes burst.. blood gushes out.. is a painful one and a painful sight to see.
