Re: What are the three biggest problems facing Pakistan?
Diamond321, it is not as simple as that. even if Zardari quits, Pakistan’s problems will not magically disappear. just as they did not when musharaf was forced to resign after demands for his ouster reached a crescendo. i can see where people are coming from when they blame one person so much; in times of crisis, and the country has been going through such a crisis, we often need a boogeyman to reduce our negative feelings of anxiety, fear, guilt etc bubbling inside us. the problem is finding boogeyman does not solve problems; people do.
is it really plausible that after zardari quits, the country’s economy will improve enough to help the most vulnerable? or that the very rich will start paying taxes? or that terrorism will cease just because zardari is no more the president? or that the country’s capacity to produce electricity will increase?
unfortunately i don’t think it is.
