True, my friend. Without correcting the inherent imbalances of our system, this ship wouldn't sail. As Ben Franklin said: “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”This is exactly the problem. Pakistani society as a whole is destroyed completely and utterly. The biggest role was played by the Army and corrupt thugs. Until 1970, Pakistan was at least in tact and also economically the strongest in the subcontinent. Even though Ayub laid the foundation for destruction, actual destruction didn't start. Then Zia decided to bring the CIA's war to Pakistan. On the surface, it appeared that Pakistan was gaining a little in the form of dollars given as crumbs. But the destruction of society started. The narcotics became commonplace, causing an explosion in the addict population. Then Zia dealt his most devastating blow to Pakistan as a nation by introducing corrupt Sharifs into the politics of Pakistan. They, from the father Sharif to now the 3rd or 4th generation, are corrupt to the core. Not only financially but also morally, thus destroying the fabric of Pakistani society. Tried to bribe the Army, the judges, police, bureaucrats, etc.
I forgot to mention Ayub also gave a democratic gift to Pakistan in the name of Bhuttos. They, too, from ZB to now BB, are corrupt to the core. To add, Bhutto was the instigator of the breakup of Pakistan.
Pakistan should name and shame these criminals to move forward. It may be that Bhutto was hanged illegally by Zia, but he was never charged or punished for treason he committed against Pakistan. Instead of helping the democracy, he destroyed it by not accepting Mujeeb's mandate.
We have to revisit our history and correct it.
