@All

I just came across your discussion and felt it necessary to answer ur questions.Is Pakistan a failed state?Many of you said that no ,its not and some of you said ,yes it is and many of you said that it is going towards that state.
Well, the answer is ,Pakistan is niether a successful state nor a failed state.
It is the most miserable state.Regardless of having natural resources, excellent agriculture, enourmous capacity to generate electricity through water, coal, wind, sun, and nuclear its people are starving, industries are sutting down, and unemployment is rampant.
We have lost our tourism industry.Now no foriegner would come to see the beauty of nature in this country.Swaat ,Waziristan, and Balochistan are in paril. Nationhood has become words of past. CORRUPTION IS every day matter. Politicians are looting and pundering.Civil servents have become selfish.Due to meager salaries officers have taken the path of self interest and using unfair means for attaining their aims and ends.
Now there is more crime rate, more rapes, more murders, more cases of unlawful land grabing, drug abuse, child abuse, labour abuse.
Our health conditions are no more better then African poor nations.We can see more black sheeps in the disguise of doctors who are in the business of organ trade.Dear friends, be practical, go out, visit different hospitals, try to look at the state of poor patients; they merely get medicins from govt hospitals, if succeed in getting medicine then what is the guaranty that the medicine is not expired or not the spurious one.
Look at the administrative depts, all are in utmost confusion. Napotism,and favouratism has made them hollow from inside. Experiments of the past rulers has made it half dead.
What has remaind now on wich we pride.By saying that , No "dilli door ast"
( it will take a long time to become a failed state) We can't hide ourselve from the facts.By merely closing our eyes from reality and thinking we are in the dreamworld, and every thing is perfectly allright, this is just a transitary crisis, we are in illusion.For God's sake come out of your utopia and live in reality.If Pakistan is not a failed state then it is also not a prosperous state.
At this time only some miracle could save pakistan from this huge storm.

Lets pray that Allah may take out the wrecked ship of pakistan from this tsunami.
