I could not understand why Musharraf would have turned against USA for nothing? :) Why Musharraf or any sane government would think of involving Pakistan with Afghanistan and whatever happening in Afghanistan (where actually to me, nothing has happened or happening anyhow)?
Why did the US blame Musharraf for 'playing a double-game', and constantly critisized him for 'not doing enough' on the WoT during the end of his career?
So, you think it would've been okay if Pakistan had never joined in on the WoT?
To me, what Pakistan should do is establish writ of government throughout Pakistan.** That can only happen if Pakistan gets rid of foreign invaders and local criminals who are fighting Pakistani forces**, challenging government writ over Pakistani land and violating Pakistan border with Afghanistan.
How do you get rid of foreign invaders & local criminals (who are supported by foreigners)? To kill a tree, will you cut the branches or the roots?
Modern farming a. Let the big farmers buy up land from subsistence farmers. b. Allow modern supply chain from farm to hearth. c. Get rid of small time retailers and middlemen wholesalers. d. Create tax incentives for mega farms that are run as corporations instead of personal fiefdoms. e. Create tax incentives for agri-product processors that employ our labor force and reduce the food wasted in our ancient style godowns.
This is not modern farming, nor will this make us as competent as those countries which practice modern farming. Modern farming consists of using modern technologies (i.e. mechanized labour). This is a term which you should research: drip-irrigation (hydroponics) << Using this technology, countries, with modern agriculture industries, are able to produce 10x more than Pakistan, and a result, export more as well, even though they have less agricultural/fertile land than Pakistan.
It is not hard to implement, nor is it hard to develop.
