Re: Pakistan .. the problem child!
Name me those issues which you claim are not discussed and I will find you articles in reference to those issues.
They cannot be minority issues, women's issues, or extremism issues and or terrorism issues.
I said I have problem with excessive writing of these kind of articles. Sorry if you did not get that right.
Besides, the timing and the title couldn't be any more ludicrous and sinister.
These kind of people deliberately write things to demoralize and depress others like the way they themselves are,.. or perhaps paid to promote these feelings. Pathetic is the word to be exact.
dont blame dawn ...blame irfan hussain if you want to. dawn publishes many many pro-Pakistan articles as well.
lets not compare ourselves with africa .. we are 200 million nuclear nation
nothing new in this article ....we know we are in a mess but what did shock me was the fact that even pro-pakistani countries are not viewing us favorably anymore
last but not least ... and i think i wrote it on some other forum as well .... forget what these writers say about pakistan ... forget what rest of the world think abt us.... forget everything but lets all of us ask ourselves only one question with utmost honesty... if tomorrow morning the 6th largest nation in the world disappears from this planet hypothetically, would it make any difference to this planet or to any country?
from social sciences to music to arts to science to movies to sports to banking to import-export balance to tourism ...name any vertical and think that given our size are we contributing anything meaningful to rest of the world to the extent that our absence will be mourned....
if the answer is YES then hell with this article but if the answer is NO then we need to stop denying and get ready to play our role in rebuilding Pakistan .....
Why not choose patriotic writer and article from a hopeful writer on this occasion than this retarded writer?
DAWN does have a history of bringing negative and evil impression of Pakistan especially catering the **depressed, self guilty **people.
