Re: Leadership
government can only do so much folks. if we have a government of cartoons it is because we share their values. by and large they cater to their constituents needs and they're fine with it.
benazir, altaf, nawaz... these are not aliens, but much loved characters in their respective pools. even musharraf has his fanbase, which used to be much larger not too long ago.
and the less than stellar leadership only goes so far in explaining away our national woes. you make your own destiny as an individual, and the state of individuals is the dominant determinant in the state of the group. we just didnt do that well as individuals, personally, morally, professionally. the notion that bad governance/leadership is the difference between pakistan and japan is just a pleasant self delusion.
