For Pakistan, there is a much bigger problem lurking. Illiteracy. I guess its the only nation in the subcontinent which has seen decline in literacy rate! Devil knows what is the current stats after census. Without literacy, forget about any growth. There is a reason China grew so fast. By '79 their literacy rate was touching 70s% even though they started from 20s% in 1950s.
It is the only country in the area where there was a bomb blast going almost daily and if there wasn't a bomb blast and a terror act...people started to thanks the heavens....without going into the useless debate of what is the reason for all this and why did Pakistan got sucked into the war on terror...been there and done that. It is like saying why India has a much slower growth rate than Pakistan in the 60's and 70's...known as Hindu rate of growth, half that of Pakistan. There will always be reasons for some events, and there will always be some repercussions for some actions, that cannot be undone, done and dusted.
Present become past as one moves along towards the future...Pakistan was barely surviving in the past 13 years of WOT, forget development, increase in literacy rate, it survived and didn't turned into Syria or Afghanistan is more important, survive and then thrive...
Also when all your resources are geared towards anti terror actions...the money and a bigger chunk of your income you just cannot expect to have an across the board development. It is only in the last 3 years law and order situation has improved, getting better by the day, development and improvement comes later.
