You know Bro,

There are a thousand good news each day about the state of affairs in Pakistan, the financial world and economists are all positive on our progress and reforms, but whenever you open the internet, there would be thousands of news about terrorism, some morons killing people for as his religious duty, the other forcing people not to shave and some one blowing a doc for vaccinating kids...............

Entire seems to be enslaved by a handfull guys, and unfortunately these are not isolated incidents, a small group of people is trying to create hurdles in our progress and future development.

If we do not had that problem, be assured we would have many times more FDI pouring in, as our economic and social reforms are working.

I am not for westren style things but we really need to control this problem to attract more business and investment, so we can improve lives of our people, who deserve it and have suffered for decaeds.

good news

I am not for westren style things but we really need to control this problem to attract more business and investment, so we can improve lives of our people, who deserve it and have suffered for decaeds.

Mir... plus this would allow us (foreign resident / national Pakistani's) to come back to Pakistan and have a peaceful life in our old age.

This is why we are so concerned at negative perception about Pakistan and at the same time get jealous of countries like Singapore, Thailand, U.A.E. .. as they have prospered in the last 30 years and we have gone down the drain ... however, in the last 10 years a good "U" turn is in the offing and if this continues for another 10 years than we are in for a economic revolution.
