I think the assessment is flawed. In any case I do not lose hope. We can always spot and describe the problems of a country in detail. But nobody can predict the human (in our case, national) response to them.
e.g. recently WHO raised an alarm against swine flu and predicted that a pandemic was imminent. Mexico, the prime nursery of the virus, managed it so well that the problem was nipped in the bud.
Even if we don't have a capable leadership to steer us through these problems right now, I believe we will have one in future. Problems always have a solution.
Pakistan is more stable and resilient than many believe.
