Pakistan

Dr Maleeha Lodhi, the countrys well-known diplomat, political scientist, and journalist holds that the countrys leaders, both civilian and military, have failed to take a long view and outline a vision for the country. They have spent much of the time in crisis management or power-preservation modes, postponing meaningful reform and looking for short term, expedient solutions to Pakistans problems. The consequences of those sins of omission and commission in numerous but interconnected areas have now come together to create a moment of truth for the country.
