harold's generic and systemis analysis of the recurring problems ridding pakistan is really illuminating...but there is a feeling that his portrayal of US engagement of pakistan as the saviour of democracy is a bit fishy... the alternative arrangement and the ray of hope the author is showing in the form of the mettle being thrust into the hands of the pak middle class with out any loss of time is also a too wishful thinking, which he himself agrees a daunting task... yet not impossible, and it is hightime the pak middle class must engage in the next round of independence, which must not be a deal to pacify a few,(like the last one was to Jinnah by the britishers),and as a fall out of some one else's struggles( like that of INC's) but a rightful one and one fought by themselves through a stuggle of their own...
now it would have been better had harold precribed some practices towards such ends... hope he succeeds in that endeauvors too...
