haha wow, you guys are so clearly bias towards musharraf. i’m not here to bash his regime or the progress in pakistan over the last 6 years, but most of us forget that all of this economic development doesn’t mean anything if investments aren’t being made at the grass-roots social welfare level.

without stable social programs (like hospitals, better educational institutions, etC), you can’t expect pakistan to truly progress or become a better nation. sure, under musharraf we’ve had trememdous foreign direct investment and major economic development in pakistans urban centres but the majority of the country is still illiterate and almost 1/3 people still live in poverty.

perosnally i wouldn’t be too impressed with an increase in fdi that’s leading to an increasing gap between the rich and poor. perhaps musharraf can truly improve his ‘legacy’ by pushing away some of that money from his military spending and on worthwhile causes?

just my thoughts.

Abbasali bhai, it is time to rejoice, rejoice, rejoice at the unbelievable growth that is taking place, allowing Pakistan to put right over 50 years of mismanagement be previous governments. :k:

God Bless Pakistan. God Bless the Unprecedented growth and foundation that is being laid for economic stability of Pakistan, under the great leadership of President Musharaf. Long may it continue.
