BS,



Pakistan's economic growth since its inception has been varied. It has been SLOW during periods of CIVILLIAN rule, but EXCELLENT during the three periods of MILLITARY rule, although the foundation for sustainable and equitable growth was not formed.[46] The early to middle 2000s was a period of rapid reform; the government raised development spending, which reduced poverty levels by 10% and increased GDP by 3%.[74][173] The economy cooled again from 2007.[74] Inflation reached 25% in 2008[174] and Pakistan had to depend on an aggressive fiscal policy backed by the International Monetary Fund to avoid possible bankruptcy.[175][176] A year later, the Asian Development Bank reported that Pakistan's economic crisis was easing.[177] The inflation rate for the fiscal year 2010–11 was 14.1%

Dear 123456789101112131415........these quoted words are not of NS exactly but a "senator" of his party.....your portraying is mischievous and condemning in the first place!

Secondly, yes in every past military govt country progress economically for two basic reasons; Generous aid receive from uncle sam for selling country's intrests & decision making easy as no fear of any opposition from any quarters i.e., press, judiciary ordinary public etc.

For your quick history lesson about Pakistan.....its only in post 2007 period.....that all these equations turnarounds 180 degree; Now no more icing on the cake for Pathetic generals

USA no more inclined to give aid through Pakistani Military by introduction of Kerry-Lugar bill.
Judiciary finds its own footing instead of towing blindly military dictations.
Press too finds its own independence behaviour never witnessed in past &
Ordinary public cannot be fooled by the mere slogans of change anymore....May 11 bar-witness.

So, When NS say democracy is the future of Pakistan......he is damn Right

in my understand it doesn't depend on one system

look iran is doing fine without the democracy, yes it is sort of but its more socialism

look china is doing fine without democracy

look sri lanka is doing fine with kingship

it doesn't depend on the system honestly, it depends upon the people running the system

democracy has to prove in pakistan that it's a viable option for it

dictators in Pakistan have been more democratic then the democracy and that's a fact

dictatorship has proven to be more fruitful for the country then democracy

yes democracy needs to be given some time but honestly under the circumstances pakistan doesn't seem to make progress to have a good democratic system

May Allah bless you with mind. Zia's regime was far better than any democratic regime. Ayub Khan's regime was also on its best and Musharraf did well in his regime. It proves that Pakistani was far better in dictator's regime.
