The Perennial basket case Nuclear Power

The floods in Pakistan have devastated its economy and increased the misery of its already poor people. The thought that the world would help fast has not being that so. But this flood of historic proportions would set back Pakistan economy by many years since the economy was not that good to start with. Accompanying that is the perception of the outside world to Pakistan being a source of trouble maker for different countries of the world. Although it is true that Pakistan has indeed been the source of numerous terrorists’ outfits but the poor people have nothing to do with them but to unfortunately share their religion with those terrorists (and mind you more than an overwhelming majority don’t know much about the religion if you care to investigate deeper).

Adding to the chaos and destruction due to the floods is the continuous violence in the biggest city of the country and the separatists’ insurgency in the Baluchistan province and all this mix create a highly combustible situation. This so called Nuclear power is unable to fix its economy or feeds its people but they still have the money to fund Taliban in Afghanistan and tolerate terrorists’ organizations in their country. If some of the foreign media has the time to look closely, they will see that most and overwhelming majority does not know the religion but become emotional when somebody evokes the name of the religion. This perennial basket case Nuclear Power knows that due to its unstable situation and sitting on a Nuclear stockpile will make the world (read The U.S.) comes to rescue them all the time. But you never know when the U.S. will get fed up finally because there is a limit to how much you can help a country when the country hates your guts but still want your money.
