Cry my Beloved Country when I read this article I felt as if you were giving a voice to my own feelings toward the situation in my country. Whilst I was in Pakistan I felt so helpless in changing the plight of others around me. It is hard to be an intellectual in Pakistan, for hypocrisy rules there. In my personal opinion it is because the masses are not educated and neither are most of the politicians, it is a case of the blind leading the blind. I do hope and pray that one day the people will rise and just say to the leaders ``we`ve had enough.`` I am waiting for the day when Pakistanis will stop seeing themselves as ethnic or religious factions and start seeing eachother as Pakistanis. How can we question the loyalty of the minorities, didn`t they also choose to stay as a part of Pakistan after partition? that in itself should be enough to prover their love for the country.

Politicians use our ethnic and religious beliefs to gain their means. they are more then happy to have us bikkering between each other because that gives them free reign to do as they please. Each that comes into power is more concerened with accumulating personal wealth and making sure that they are seen as the sole authority and not as elected individuals who are there to serve the ones who elected them. People in Pakistan have to wake up!
