The problems of Pakistan are due to the fact that it is governed by those who neither have the capability, nor the vision nor are they cut up for the job.
The state is being run to perpetuate the unconstitutional rule of a government that relies on the support of those with loyalties to the highest bidder.
There is no ideology or objective, nor is there a declared manifesto to achieve the aims.
It is not just the Punjabi sugar mill owners, but all sections of the people are busy in minting billions at the expense of the consumers, who have neither any say nor a role in running the affairs of this country.
The political turncoats, who are there "to make hay while the sun shines", are just a tool in the hands of the regime, that is complicating the already grave political crisis that the nation faces.
Ayub Khan started the political strangulation of the nation just a few years after independence. Yahya Khan saw to the separation of East Pakistan, by his desire to establish the writ of the state and deny the political process to proceed. He chose to support the minority population against the majority, only to enrage them to seek independence, in the process damaging the army. Ziaul Haq started the Afghan crisis to perpetuate his illegal hold on power, by appeasing the Americans.
He got paid for his services, a fact that is well documented in a book " VEIL" written by Bob Woodward. He helped America become the sole super power, and it today threatens to isolate the whole Islamic World, and establish the hegemony of Israel and now India. He in his wisdom as an American stooge helped the Taleban to rule Afghanistan.
That was the agenda of his masters then, so he delivered it, in order to prolong his illegitimate rule. History now repeats itself, with this junta seeking to eliminate the genie created by another dictator, only to end up with further complicating and endangering the security of Pakistan.
The solution to the problems of this country lie in establishing democratic constitutional rule, where political solutions are sought to the problems by those with an honest mandate and not use of violence. Perhaps those in power do not appreciate the negative role they play, in perpetuating one-man rule. One only hopes that better sense will prevail and the army goes back to barracks.
God forbid if that does not happen, the "Molotov Cocktail" that is brewing up will shake the foundations of this country and help those who never accepted the creation of an independent sovereign democratic country.
Pakistan was established to function as a democratic entity, by a constitutional struggle waged by politicians, in whom the man in uniform played no role, nor were they assigned such a role.
It is ironic that the British Indian army, composed 98.5% of natives, never dared to revolt against the colonial civil authority designated by London to rule India.
