It is ironic to note the similarity in what you say above - the system is lawful but the end result is lawlessness - and the claim about Islam being a perfect way of life, and yet its followers do everything but what it says. I was castigated - ahem - elsewhere for saying that a religion is only...

And that is where my conclusion that the system is working perfectly to achieve the results it is designed to achieve comes in yet again. Those who are at the top are among the beneficiaries of the setup and therefore it is in their interest to foster this environment while paying only lip...

A great post, but what good is a legal process that is not implemented? Law without enforcement is simply lawlessness by another name.

In a country where the Constitution was once described as nothing but mere paper, what are the high judges but merely another cadre of bootpolishers?

The reason for such poor legal processes is judgement by decree and personality overrules the law. CJ Iftikhar's judicial overreach, for example, reached ridiculous heights, such as with the Dam(n) Fund. Abuse of suo moto cases is rampant too. The SC ideally should only be an appellate court...

Somewhat on topic is this storyline: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_of_the_Breed

What a post! Given that not only there are "spies" certain titleholders are shared between at least two sites, it certainly puts a damper on things given the past hounding for daring to think differently.

Your post reminds me of thrillers by Alistair Maclean and Louis L'Amour back in my youth.

Suffice for me to just observe that it takes more than mere big flotilla to create a recognizable superpower block as the OP envisions.

Pakistan is in a predicament of its own making. It has no money, nor any means to make enough to meet its needs and it survives on foreign largesse. In order to do so, it recites the mantra of religion above nation, but the problem in that mirage is that it breaks down when Arab nations follow...

An interesting concept, but please bear in mind that lawful societies have followed an evolutionary path to where they are now. Respect for the law is important, but what is more important for such a transition is establishing the rule of law so that it is respected. For example, what would you...

Not really. India (and Indian diaspora) have a very different outlook that they project quite successfully.

So is Pakistan any more than just an anti-India?

Time, luckily, for all of us, moves only forward. While I can understand all the effort put into understanding the history of the Pak Fauj, there is simply no way to justify what it has become in the present, and its inability to change back into working within its Constitutional mandates in the...

A question, if I may: Must Pakistan define itself in terms of India, or does it have its own identity?

Agree with the above, well said!

No. The Pakistani system is close to perfection in the service of its defined goals. :D

Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the real balance for FE reserves already MINUS 10 Billion dollars?

Reminds me of whattabootery. :D What has peaceful transfer of civilian power by regular elections have to do with the price of boot polish?

Who said anything about clean water? :D
