Imran Khan has hope for Pakistan

One must always be optimistic.

He sees light at the end of the tunnel for Pakistan.

He states with added commentary, by me:

Pakistan now has a powerful independent Supreme Court, which does not cower in front of the military as it use to in the good old days.

Pakistan has a powerful independent media which is very focused on the REAL ISSUES which vexes the country into a failed state situation.

Pakistan's people are united and politically aware of all the big issues that affect the country.

Even Pakistans' children are aware of the big issues that affect the country.



In 1951 the population of Pakistan was 33 million with about 15% being urbanized, and an even smaller middle class. Today Pakistan has an unofficial population of 190 million and an urban population of about 36%. ....with 38 million Pakistanis belonging to the educated middle classes.

Such a state is harder to manage and fool than it would have been in the 1950's.

The second factor is that people in Pakistan have wised up to the relationship of the Pakistan military with the USA.......its covert and not so covert nature, and the consequent harm it does to Pakistani society.

Finally there is a level of desperation in Pakistan given the situation of the country which can't be explained away by mere propaganda......the critical desperation WILL force change in Pakistani society, hopefully peacefully and in elections soon this year.
