Thanks Faris, for supporting my view.

Pakistan is not a viable country, simply because it has no binding and unifying force. Having denied the pre islamic history, it had to cling to islam, and the classical islamic nation is Saudi with the mecca being there. hence pakistan had to create its own brand of islam, the taliban, which the world is no more ready to tolerate.

The country could have made some economic progress, as in the case of india and created an identity, but pakistan missed it completely.

The bomb is the final killer of pakistan, a talibanic bomb the world is not going to allow.

You are correct, pakistan will be a foot note, but youyr foot note is too long for pakistan and its its contribution to mankind.

Sir its not satire but if pakistani army rulers follow american war on terroe it will be future. You are smart are you hearing premonotion of coming revolutionary changes resulting in implosion or explosion. I dread bad future.
