This is so true. Like you pointed out later in your blog, If Pakistan breaks into a civil war and if the leadership falls into wrong hands,(say Al-Qaeda or Taliban sympathizers) the pain will be felt worldwide and it wont be pleasant for anyone. Needless to say, Nuclear weapons in wrong hands can produce devastating results for the sub-continent and the world.

Religious bigotry and obsession with military amongst the Pakistan’s populace has dimished their respect for democratic institution. There is some hope in the form of the moderates and progressive thinkers in the country who are in a great minority. hopefully they will succeed in convincing the public about the perilous times(if it is not already there) the country is heading and persuade them to understand the need for responsible leadership for Pakistan. If their past is any indication, I highly doubt that the leaders the prominence in Pakistan’s politics today are cut out for the job ahead of them.

Good luck to Pakistan.
