I did have some reservations about such a large investment. The points Cyril raise make them quite realistic.
No matter what you tell me, I dont trust Nawaz or Zardari in matters related to money.
Plus, there is lack of political will to tackle terrorism. The military is doing all it can but its military's initiative and we dont see political cover for it. This is clearly visible in Balochistan.
Our politicians of status quo types, who rule this unfortunate country have stakes abroad, achieve power through concessions and agreements with foreign powers. So they are naturally indebted to them and hence you see this timidness in their behavior.
Think about it. If Balochistan is not at peace, the whole 'corridor' thing falls apart. IT seems in the last decade, our enemies had a very easy time destabilizing and patronizing terror in Balochistan.
