The problem is not merely moping about it, but working on the root cause of every problem that Pakistan is facing. What are the people doing about the daily bombs going off ? What are people doing about Loadshedding ? What are people doing about incidents that leads to a public suicide in front of the Parliament no less ? What are people doing about the massive debt incurred by the state ? It is this that the writer is concerned about. The seeming indifference of brushing every problem under the rug, waiting for a bigger one to arrive, and then another one, and then another, until the fragility will cause an Arab spring like situation is what the author is trying to highlight.
People are working on the root causes. All these problems take time to solve. Militancy cannot be quelled in hours, days or months. It took Srilanka 26 years to quell the Tamil Insurgency. As for load shedding, the problem is not that we do not have power-generation capability, it's that we lack the finances to buy oil for our Thermal PPs. Until we can work on alternate power generation sources, we will have to bear with load shedding.
