Pakistan as a country has gone from being a very reasonable, cheap and awesome place to live to being to a joke within the last 15 years. If you ever go to visit, it is an almost lawless horrible place to stay where as a foreigner (who is a Pakistani though does not look it) you are treated as a threat by security guards and police officers. This aside, the current ruling government of Pakistan is a farce, brought in by corruption and (misplaced) sympathy towards a corrupt woman and her even more corrupt husband. The fact that it hasn't destroyed itself in the last 5 years is astounding. Take Karachi (as Mr. Malik did): "Malik had recently claimed that jealous girlfriends and wives, and not political groups or criminals, were responsible for a majority of target killings in the southern port city of Karachi." what kind of bullshit is that? The fact of the matter is the kind of horrible shit that we saw in the UK a few weeks back is about 10-100x worse in Karachi on a day-to-day basis. I very much doubt it's all to do with lovers tiffs gone wrong. What needs to change is the education of the ruling class and that needs to start with the President and the Prime Minister, both of whom really need to have their educational background under scrutiny. One who doesn't even know what degree he has - or the real name of his school [1] and the other who doesn't know a very simple prayer taught to 10 year old Muslim children as the head of an Islamic state and when questioned became very defensive [2]. All of this goes on the back of a country with a continual energy crisis where they are currently experiencing (and have been for atleast 2 years) a "load-shedding rotation" at several times during the day. 3rd world infrastructure run by fuckmuppets.
