Re: HOW WELL HAS PAKISTAN DONE?
Depends on the Service. Entry level sailor makes $550 a month + room and board. That figure makes his pay around $7000K per year. Off course it costs US Navy to provide the food and shelter. However you guys are talking about direct payroll expenses.
What about the multiples of our region? Iran Afghanistan China and India? Are they 7? higher or lower?
With your multiple, it means Pakistani government can buy $210 billion ($30x7) worth of goods and services in a year, compared to $3000 billions of US budget.
Even though the multiple of 7 is at best anecdotal, I'll consider it for a moment. Why? Because your multiple makes Pakistan look even better ($210 billion) vs. my original comparison based on $30 billion.
It simply shows that the original essay was much more conservative and still made Pakistan look better than the "Main to mar hee gayee" BIMARU attitude.
Wake up guys and quit jabbing at Pakistan. Please.
Pakistan Paindabaad.
I liked ur positive attitude and it is really good to see someone other than whiners and moaners, i stil see people do not want to see other side of the picture and most of them are the one who are or whose idealogy is against the existance of Pakistan. These people will reject any positive trend or try to "keRay Nikalna" efforts in every development project in Pakistan. cause these two things will make things difficult for them.
ur analysis does not says that Pakistan is in an ideal status, and problems in economy, law and order still exist. but one can clearly see that even this little light of hope on the end tunnel is not acceptable for these kind of people.
Not all of whinners and moaners are against Pakistan, some are born like that, they criticise every one for their own failure... normally known as loosers in developed countries..
Good Work Anitobl, i really liked ur way of thinking for Pakistan.
