Good points all!

We cannot blame Islamism or Liberalism or other isms for all the ills in the society. Obviously the original post covers almost every aspect of issues and each one of them have unique drivers.

However we have to stop and think for a moment to see what is the CORE of any society?

Well the societies, countries, companies are just like giant families.

So if you look at your own family and see what challenges it faces on daily basis, then you can extrapolate those challenges to a large degree and see if they explain away the challenges faced by our beautiful country.

So here is a question to you all.

What is the typical daily challenge faced by your family? That you feel is the FUNDAMENTAL challenge and thus it drives other issues.

Thank you.

Quite right but all negatives go to Ayoub, Yahya , Zia and Musharraf.

I really wish if Pakistan could hire a Country Manager for few years . Our management by higher officials is down the drain .

Re: The sad story of Pakistan

It is funny that every "shoe thrower" is out in force.

With zero POSITIVE contribution.

Those who love to bash Pak leaders from 1947 onwards must look at their own homes and their own dining table before throwing shoes.

it is easy to write Pak-bashing essays because it is a sad fashion among our educated but Jahil elite.

These Juhala refuse to see that Pakistani system may be broken, but it has done well IN THE GIVEN circumstances.

So many of you west settled educated elite must have friends/colleagues/acquaintences from India, BDesh, Iran, or China.

Ask anyone of those guys to show you pictures of their family homes. If those pictures are 100 times better than your own family home in Pak, then you have every right to criticize Jinnah, LAK, MAK, all the way to AAZ.

Otherwise be ashamed a little and learn to be patriotic from Indians, BDEeshis, Chinese, and Iranians.

They MOSTLY live in far worse situations, and yet they are all out there singing their mother countries' songs.

It is their nationalism and pro-West work ethic that has earned them money in the last 20 years.

Everyone except Iran is following pro-US policy that we started back in LAK's time. So who had the better vision. Pak leaders. But no! We must bash them with our shoes all the time.

Not only shoe-beating of our leaders, us the Paks are ready to burn down Pak in the name of Islamism, and other ethno-fascism.

Sad!

you can still contribute to this thread.

Let me repost my question that I posted earlier.

all hail the kings of PPP, everybody bow down to the angels of PPP please.

Dude, don't forget destruction of Pakistani industry by nationalization carried out by none other than your godfather Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. By nationalization he introduced poor management, huge overheads in biggest institutions, then you get trickle down effects in other institutions/organizations.

No power with civilians.
No power can be with civilians.
Because they are powerless.
And every time one Muslim League is there to work under the foot of…
And now PPP is without their leader.
I am agree that they are not going well
But hope soon they could get rid of
Malik,Taseer and few other.:jhanda:

11

Is Zardari included in “few other”? No comment on ZAB’s kartoots?

12

Z A Bhutto was man the whole nation is proud of him.
Zardari is Majboori

I see, so PPP=socialism/communism, mulk jaaye bhaar mai, jiyalay ko nokri milni chahiye.

Re: The sad story of Pakistan

Sad story of Pakistan starts with bad arrangements for Qaid when he was back from Ziarat.
Ohh so sad. Qauids ambulance was stopped in midway from Maripur to main city because of finishing of patrol . It was very hot and Fatima Jenah was using hand fan to give some relief to Qauid.It took one hour or more when driver brought the patrol. Qauid was alone with his sister. The old , dying sick man. Founder and first Governor general of Pakistan.

:jhanda:

Captain, what is your issue with ZAB? Do you know he was unlawfully murdered?

About the thread topic, has anyone noticed how since the school age, we are taught that being pakistanis, we're the most miderable nation because we have absolutely nothing? We are poor, we are helpless, we are discriminated against, we inherited all the economical & other problems which exist in the world? These days, GEO is the largest medium to make the whole pakistani nation believe that they have nothing to smile about but only thing their country has is NOTHING & they have all the reasons to keep crying all the time. And comparitively, india has everything pakistanis desire to have. That has been the top most agenda of GEO TV since always and still.

This is what the pakistani people grow up learning.

They do not want the pakistani nation to know the reality of the blessings that they have. The freedom, the rehmat of God in the form of resources. Pakistan has all the potential & resources to become the most wealthy, the most powerful, the most dignified nation on earth. But THEY do not want the pakistani people to know any of that. They would do everything in their power to stop pakistanis to make use of the natural blessings of God it has & emerge as a shining nation & an example for the rest of the world's nations. The want all the pakistanis to keep fighting & killing eachother on the basis of ethnicity, in the name of religion, on the basis what they are wearing / not wearing, caste system. And in the end, they want all the pakistanis to come to them (gandhi's words) & say they made a mistake & they want to get back with them. They want to annex it back with them only THEN they would make use of all those resources Pakistan has. That's what their plan has always been but they have successfully thrown our people into the pit hole of feeling of worthlessnes & self hate.

They do not want them to know how powerful they are & the powerful country that God has blessed them with. They just want all the talented Pakistanis to leave Pakistan for various threats of all kinds that the country has faced int eh past & faces today & find peace & 'normal life' in other places. How would they be able break Pakistan if all the talented pakistani brains are in the country to make it beautiful? So they have taken some serious steps to make every pakistani to leavedue to various reasons.

Can Pakistanis now understand all the negative propaganda against IK? Because his was the only EDUCATED voice which said Pakistan is indeed the most blessed & powerful country & he aimed to make it what it has the potential to become. That made them pee in their pants. A leader like IK who has previous history of winning? How can they allow him to operate freely & make pakistan? Remember restrictions on him to enter khi? Who is controlling our country? MQM? Talibans? Fazla? Corrupt politicians? Dictators? or INDIA in the disguise of all of them???

BUT Pakistanis really dont have time. Really watching bollysh!t & 'bollywood dancin' is the most important job in life that there ever can be.

Politician ka bacha politician nahi ho sakta zarrori nahi, engineer ka bacha engineer nahi ho sakta.. so it.. I support Bhutto too but I am as much against PPP

and calling zardari majboori is not a good option.. He is also from PPP so deal with your own breeded worm first.

17

With all this you forgot to mention

We have the honor of voting for most corrupt leadership over and over again
we are emotional to an extent that we cannot hear anything against these corrupt leaders
We not only follow them, but give prefer them over the direct commands of Allah and His Messenger (SAAW)
We are the only nation ( i guess) who sell religion to get into power

these things neutralizes the above greatest natural resources we have

18

Shaukat Aziz?

C'mon....... 'we dont have leaders' is an extremely overused cliche now. We elect them or we bear them when they come marching in every few years.

We rant about the issues in Pakistan on internet, among friends, in family, but never DO anything about it.

19

You are dead right, whenever we are given a chance to elect the right people, we go after those who we worship, be it the Emperor of Corrupts ( Zardari) or King of Corruption (NS)... making petty excuses that we don't have an option...

Re: The sad story of Pakistan

I can't imagine that I'd be saying this.

But the current leaders in power i.e. AAZ, Asfand Wali Khan, Baloch leaders and Sindh leaders are the best available choices. Thank God they are there to help Gen. Kiyani so that all of them can lead our ship through very very turbulent waters.

I never had any hope for NS or Altaf goon. But the saddest realization has come down for the Shahbaz Sharif with his clear support for the Talibots.

Off course this is right as of now. What will happen in 5 years is anybody's guess.

One thing must be in our minds though.

We focus too much on TOP leadership, and not enough on the mid level and low level leadership.

We should be proud of the leadership of Abul Sattar Edhi. He is a gem of man. Mother Theresa of Pakistan.

We do have many many philanthropists, professors, and bureaucrats who are doing the right thing. We have 1000s of police officers and army jawans and officers who are sacrificing their lives to keep Pakistan safer.

If not for their heroic efforts, Pakistan would have turned into Islamic and African Junnats aka Somali, Afghanistan, or Saddam Hussain's Iraq.

Thank God, our leaders a bit more sensible than many despots ruling countries from Afghanistan, to Iran, all the way to Egypt.

Pakistan Paindabaad.
