A Country in Ruins

Everyday, every single day at least a hundred people in Pakistan die. On a good day, we can cut that number in half. Why is this happening? why does it not affect everyone like it should? Why are foreign countries telling us how we should lead our nation, after all we have a president who is charged with cases of corruption and fraud. (i still find his "real" university degree questionable), but even so none of them really know what to do about this country.
Ask yourself, if some high up person in a political party were to be killed in your country, what do you think would be the next days headlines.. ours reads "Death toll reaches 42 as riots break out". The idiotic mob mentality of the common people here is something to marvel at. For no purpose at all they start burning tires, burning trucks and killing each other. This is how they deal with problems. Rather than having protests or rallies, they decide to create more problems for themselves, by going crazy.

What can be done about it.. educate the population? that requires funds, which though we are getting from the rest of the world, only some of it is actually used for development, the rest goes in the pockets of the corrupt who sadly run this country.

At your graduation, you would expect family and maybe a few friends to come visit you right, well for the "prince" the entire P.P.P (peoples party of Pakistan) seems to be going. It is unnecessary, but if you really must go, how about spending your own money on buying tickets and getting places to stay rather than using the funds which we really sorely need.

But the biggest question then is, why don't the people themselves react. Why don't they stand up and argue and protest, for the simple reason that they as i have mentioned before, are pretty much brainless and follow whatever fake promises are made to them.
They wont change. They wont even accept change. In my personal belief only the army has the capabilities to pull this country out of the downward spiral it is in, or else we might see the downfall of Pakistan.
The Qaid-e-Azam did not want this country to be a military dictatorship, but since he passed away without setting up a stable government, the instability has just grown.
The army is the only one who can control the population, and yes we have had army rule, several times in our history, but sadly there is no one who is only in it for the benefit of the country. They took control but then never wanted to give it up.
Until and unless someone comes in power, from the military, who is planning on doing whatever he can to fix the country and then hand back power the, hopefully honest political leaders, can this country ever rise out of the ashes of its own history... but from where i stand, that vision is very bleak.

  2. Hi. I wanted to drop you a quick note to express my thanks. I've been following your blog
    for a month or so and have picked up a ton of good information as well as
    enjoyed the way you've structured your site. I am attempting to run my own blog
    but I think its too general and I want to focus more on smaller topics. Being all
    things to all people is not all that its cracked up to be.
