When commentators talk about Pakistan being “a failing state,” what exactly do they mean? Don’t they owe it to their readers to define what they mean by the term before branding Pakistan a “failing state”? Or has “failing state” become just another buzzword for these commentators, along with such other fashionable buzzwords as “rogue state” and “terrorist state”?
They (the reporters/commentators) take for granted that their readers are fool. :)
