FW: BERTRAND RUSSEL PHILOSPHY FOR LAYMEN

Philosophy for Laymen

I was doing research in Chemistry for my PhD at the University of London when Bertrand Russell was alive and used to give lecture on Philosophy in different colleges. I had great passion for Philosophy and was great admirer of Bertrand Russell . This essay is from his book called UNPOPULAR ESSAYS .

These essays were meant to combat the growth of dogmatism , whether of the right, or of the left, He called this book UNPOPULAR ESSAY because he thought some sentences in the book will not be understood by many ( he said unusually stupid children of the age of 10 )

That being the reason , he said the book will not be popular , that’s being so Essay will be unpopular. Surprisingly the book became very popular.

This essay – Philosophy for Layman is one of the essay from this book

The Need of Teaching Philosophy to People

In this essay, Russell explains very briefly the uses of philosophy. Philosophy, he says, means a love of wisdom. Philosophy in this sense is what people must acquire if the new technical powers achieved by man are not to plunge mankind into the greatest conceivable disaster. However, the philosophy which the ordinary people should be taught is not the same thing as the philosophy of specialists.

The Theoretical Function of Philosophy

Philosophy has always had two different objects: to arrive at a theoretical understanding of the structure of the world; and to discover and propagate the best possible way of life. Philosophy has thus been closely related to science on the one hand and to religion on the other. On its theoretical side philosophy partly consists in the framing of large general hypotheses which science is not yet in a position to test. (When it becomes possible to test such hypotheses they become part of science, and no longer belong to philosophy,) There are a number of purely theoretical questions, of everlasting interest, which science is unable to answer at present. Do we survive after death? Can mind dominate matter, or does matter completely dominate mind? Does this universe have a purpose, or is it driven by blind necessity? To keep alive the interest in such questions is one of the functions of philosophy.

The Practical Aspect of Philosophy

On its practical side, philosophy can greatly increase a man’s value as a human being and as a citizen. It can give a habit of exact and careful thought. It can give an impressive breadth and scope to the conception of the aims of life. It can give to the individual a correct estimate of himself in relation to society, and of man in the present to man in the past and in the future. It can offer a cure, or at least a palliative, for the anxieties and the anguish which afflict mankind at present.

FW: OLIVER CROMWELL SPEECH TO SACK BRITISH PARLIMENT IN APRIL 1653 AND HIS MISTAKE -WHAT A SIMILARIY OF TODAY PAKISTAN

Oliver Cromwell Speech sacking Mother of all Parliament on 20^th April 1653 .

· If one reads word –by –word what Oliver Cromwell said in the British Parliament in year 1653 , then look , listen about the corruption , misdeed of Pakistan present day politicians , you will find nothing have changed '

· Oliver Cromwell made a serious mistake , he did not destroyed landed gentry / ruling class before sacking the parliament .

· After his death Oliver Cromwell dead body was taken out from his grave and hanged after trial .

· In Pakistan today the politicians are exactly same as the politician of England in year 1653 . If any Pakistani military or political leader wants to bring about socio-economic –political –electoral reform , he needs to completely destroy current ruling elite , otherwise the fate of military or political leader who dares to bring reform will face the same fate as that of Oliver Cromwell faced after his death .

" Oliver Cromwell's Speech"-April 20, 1653-- what a similarity ?

It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.

Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.

Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.

Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?

Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?

Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?

Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.

Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.

I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.

Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.

In the name of God, go!

Discover new ideas and inspiration to build world-class Business Continuity Management from this masterwork that distills Hiles' wisdom about what works and why from 30+ years' experience in 60+ countries.

First published in 1999, the new 4th Edition of Hiles' classic is the most international, comprehensive, readable exposition on the subject. .

<![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>520-page book + hundreds of pages of Downloadable Resources, including project plans, risk analysis forms, BIA spreadsheets, BC plan formats, exercise/test material, checklists, and a variety of editable models, templates,

From the Foreword by Dr. Adil S. Mufti, Vice Chairman, ICIL-Pakistan:

I find this new 4th edition of Business Continuity Management: Global Best Practices to be the most comprehensive book available, covering almost all aspects of BCM. It will be applied by students, will guide business continuity management (BCM) practitioners, and will be read by corporate and political leaders and policy-makers worldwide.

Despite my exposure to global and national business, my first real understanding of BCM came when I first met Andrew Hiles and read course materials for a series of very popular training courses he conducted in Pakistan. A relative working for IBM told me about Andrew's high standing among BCM practitioners and that many of them in many parts of the world look up to Andrew as their guru. During my own travel to different countries, I find that, invariably, whenever I talk about BCM, people within corporate sectors in general and in the BCM practicing community in particular have either heard of Andrew or have read his publications. In both English-speaking as well as non- English-speaking countries, Andrew Hiles' training courses and publications are, and will always remain, in great demand.

In the end, I would like to say that Andrew Hiles has made great contribution to the BCM profession and through this 4th edition of Business Continuity Management: Global Best Practices he has made the jobs of all BCM practitioners easier and has given to the students studying BCM at university level very comprehensive reading material. This book will help corporate and political leadership to understand the need to prepare against unexpected man-made or natural hazards.

Andrew Hiles, Hon FBCI, EIoSCM, is an internationally renowned practitioner, consultant to blue chip companies and government agencies, and trainer of two generations of Business Continuity professionals.

From the Foreword by Lyndon Bird, FBCI, Technical Director, The Business Continuity Institute (BCI):

I've known Andrew Hiles for many years and have always been impressed by his vision and passion for the ever changing landscape of Business Continuity. No one writing about the subject today, and few writing about any management topic, can equal Andrew's breadth of experience and practical "know-how." Andrew was the main driver in the formation of The Business Continuity Institute in 1994 and bears the membership number 001. He has a formidable understanding of Information Technology, Information Security and Service Management, as well as his almost encyclopedic knowledge of Business Continuity globally. This is what he shares with the readers in this incredibly comprehensive, but very readable, book.

He has again provided an up-to-the-minute review of the topic and world-wide standards, as well as valuable insights about the impacts of legislation and regulation on BCM practitioners. He's also broad in his scope, opening the debate to the wider areas of resiliency, including risk, emergency planning, security and crisis. Andrew always demonstrates that BCM has wide strategic implications for any business and his real life examples are brilliant learning opportunities. He always likes to show what can go wrong, what could have prevented it and how to move forward positively. It's an honest, balanced view of the challenges facing BCM professionals.

Wherever I go in the world, BC people know Andrew Hiles through his books, other publications, and global course delivery. Andrew's teachings have provided great leadership to our profession, influencing many people to think of BCM as an important, enjoyable, and credible long-term career option. If you only read one BCM business book this year, then make sure this is it. The Business Continuity Institute welcomes this updated version and is delighted to endorse it.

From the Foreword by Dr. Adil S. Mufti, Vice Chairman, ICIL-Pakistan:

From the Foreword by Michael Howbrook, Director of Education, Telfort Business Institute, Shanghai, China

The book gives the most comprehensive coverage not only of all of the aspects of developing, implementing, and maintaining a BC management system, but it also provides an understanding of supply chain and contracts, which are critical for supply continuity; advice for achieving consensus; and helpful details on international BC-related standards.

Chapter 5 draws attention to Negotiation and Contractual Risk, an important subject, which if handled incorrectly, can have huge repercussions that invite disruptions and /or disasters. Marketing in Chapter 6 covers how a disaster can affect many aspects within a business and how difficult matters would be if BCM was not regularly reviewed and practiced. Similarly, misunderstanding the laws pertaining to particular countries as detailed in Appendix A can have very serious repercussions. Common Law, Civil Law and Sharia Law may have overlaps but are not the same and can spell disaster if ignored or misunderstood.

I believe that it's essential in today's business environment that BCM be a part of any structured approach to forming business programs. This is a very informative book indeed, very well written by a very experienced practitioner who gives a full global perspective on BCM today.

GREAT INSULT OF NEWS ANCHOR BY A TRUE HUMAN BEING -GEORGE GALLOWAY

GREAT INSULT OF NEWS ANCHOR…….by George Galloway

Tuesday 15 July 2014

A TRIBUTE TO OUR SHUHADA ( Received from Javed Ashraf )

THE FINAL
INSPECTION

The Soldier stood and faced God,

Which must always come to pass.

He hoped his shoes were shining,

Just as brightly as his brass..

'Step forward now, Soldier ,

How shall I deal with you?

Have you always turned the other cheek?

To My Church have you been true?'

The soldier squared his shoulders and said,

'No, Lord, I guess I ain't.

Because those of us who carry guns,

Can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,

And at times my talk was tough.

And sometimes I've been violent,

Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny,

That wasn't mine to keep...

Though I worked a lot of overtime,

When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,

Though at times I shook with fear..

And sometimes, God, forgive me,

I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place,

Among the people here.

They never wanted me around,

Except to calm their fears

If you've a place for me here, Lord,

It needn't be so grand.

I never expected or had too much,

But if you don't, I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne,

Where the saints had often trod.

As the Soldier waited quietly,

For the judgment of his God.

'Step forward now, you Soldier,

You've borne your burdens well.

Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,

You've done your time in Hell.'

Author Unknown~

It's the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us the freedom of the press.

It's the Soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us the freedom of speech.

It's the Soldier, not the politicians
That ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness..

It's the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag.

FW: ALL THE PROPHETS AND MESSENGERS OF GOD

Adam – Adam – آدم
Mentioned 25 Times
Prophet
Adam, the first human being, Ranks as the first Prophet of Islam. Eve (Hawa) was The Prophet's wife.

Enoch – Idrees /Idrees – إدريس
Mentioned 2 Times
Prophet

Idris lived during a period of drought inflicted by God to punish the people of the world who had forgotten God. Idris prayed for salvation and for an end to the suffering, and so the world received rain.

Noah – Nuh – نوح
Mentioned 43 Times
Although best known for his role in the story of the Deluge, Nuh became a primary preacher of monotheism in his day. Muslims believe his faith in God led to his selection for building the Ark.

Heber – Hud – هود
Mentioned 07 Times
Messenger
Muslims believe that only Hud, for whom the eleventh chapter of the Qur'an takes its name, and a few other people survived a great storm, similar to the Deluge five generations earlier. God inflicted the storm to punish the people of ʿĀd who had forgotten about God.

Methusaleh – Salih – صالح
Mentioned 09 Times
Messenger
According to the Qur'an, God ordered Saleh to leave behind his people, the tribe of Thamud, after they disbelieved and disobeyed God's order to care for a special camel and instead killed it in Saleh's and his followers' (believers') absence. God punished the people with a loud noise from the skies that killed his people instantly.

Abraham – Ibrahim – إبراهيم
Mentioned 69 Times
Prophet & Messenger
Muslims regard Ibrahim as one of the significant Prophets, because they credit him with rebuilding the Kaaba in Mecca. His family, including his son Ishmael, also receives credit for helping create the civilization around Mecca that would later give birth to the final prophet of Islam, Muhammad. Significantly, Ibrahim almost sacrificed his son Ismail (Ishmael) to God in an event now commemorated annually by Eid al-Adha. Among all the prophets, he first named believers "Muslims" – meaning "those with full submission to God"

Ishmael – Ismael – إسماعيل
Mentioned 12 Times
Prophet & Messenger
Muslims regard Ismaïl, first-born son of Ibrahim, as a notable prophet in Islam for his near-sacrifice in adulthood. As a child, he – with his mother, Hajar (Hagar) – searched for water in the region around Mecca, leading God to reveal the Zamzam Well, which still flows to this day

Isaac – Is,haq – إسحاق
Mentioned 17 Times
Prophet
According to Islamic tradition, Ishaq, the second-born son of Ibrahim, became a Prophet in Canaan. He and his brother Ismaïl carried on the legacy of Ibrahim as Prophets of Islam.

Lot – Lut – لوط
Mentioned 17 Times
Prophet & Messenger
>>>> Muslims know Lut best for attempting to preach against homosexuality in Sodom and Gomorrah, in addition to encouraging his people to believe in the Oneness of God, although his community mocked and ignored him. Islam also denies the acts which the Old Testament attributes to Lut, like drinking and becoming drunk, and having intercourse with and impregnating his two daughters.

Jacob – Ya'qub – Yakub – يعقوب / إسرائيل Mentioned 16 Times Prophet The Qur'an portrays Yaqub as "of the company of the Elect and the Good". He continued the legacy of both his father, Ishaq, and his grandfather, Ibrahim. Like his ancestors, he deliberately worshipped God exclusively.

Joseph – Yusuf – يوسف
Mentioned 27 Times
Prophet
Yusuf, son of Yaqub and great-grandson of Ibrahim, became a prominent advisor to the pharaoh of Egypt after he interpreted the pharaoh's dream which predicted the economic future of Egypt. He spent a large part of his life away from his eleven brothers, who showed jealousy of Yusuf because their father favoured him. They took him out one day, telling their father that they would play and have fun, but they planned to kill him. Instead, they threw him down a well and told their father Yaqub that a wolf had eaten him. According to Islam, Yusuf received the gift of half of the beauty granted to mankind.

Jethro – Shu'ayb – شعيب
Mentioned 11 Times
Messenger
According to Islam, God appointed Shu'ayb, a direct descendant of Ibrahim, to guide the people of Midian and Aykah, who lived near Mount Sinai. When the people of the region failed to listen to his warnings, God destroyed the disbelievers' villages. Although the Qur'an and the reported speeches of Muhammad mention that Musa married one of Shu'ayb's daughters, the Old Testament tells the same story of a man named Jethro. Some scholars[ regard Jethro in the Old Testament as distinct from Shu'aib in the Qur'an.

Moses – Musa – موسى
Mentioned 136 Times
Prophet & Messenger
Moses, whom the Qur'an refers to more than to any other Prophet, had the distinction of revealing the Tawrat (Torah) to the Israelites. The Qur'an says Musa realized his connection with God after receiving commands from him during a stop at Mount Sinai. He later went on to free the enslaved Hebrews after the Egyptian pharaoh denied God's power. Musa subsequently led the freed Hebrews for forty years through the desert after they refused to obey God's command and enter the Holy Land. See the Qur'an, Sura Al-Ma'ida Qur'an 5:24, "They said: 'O Moses! while they remain there, never shall we be able to enter, to the end of time. Go thou, and thy Lord, and fight ye two, while we sit here (and watch).'" On another trip to Mount Sinai during this long journey, Musa received the Tawrat and the Ten Commandments. At the end of his life, according to Islamic tradition[ Musa chose to die to become closer to God instead of taking up an offer that would have extended his life.

Aaron – Harun – هارون
Mentioned 20 Times
Prophet & Messenger
Harun (Aaron) served as an assistant to his older brother Musa (Moses). In Islam, he, like Musa, received the task of saving the Israelites from the Egyptian pharaoh. He would often speak for Musa when Musa's speech-impediment prevented him from doing so himself.
Elijah – Ilyaas – إلياس
Mentioned 02 Times
Prophet
Ilyas, a descendant of Harun (Aaron), took over control of the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula after the kingdom of Sulayman (Solomon) collapsed. Islamic tradition says he attempted to convince the people of the peninsula of the existence of only one God, but when the people refused to listen they were smitten[with a drought and famine.

Elisha – Al-Yasaa – اليسع
Mentioned 02 Times
Prophet
Al-Yasa (Elisha) took over the task of leading the Israelites after the death of Ilyas (Elijah). He attempted to show the king and queen of Israel the power of God, but they dismissed him as a magician. Subsequently, the Assyrians could make people burn[and inflict significant damage on them.

David – Daud – داوود
Mentioned 16 Times
Prophet
In Islam, God revealed the Zabur (Psalms) to Dawud (David). Dawud also has significance as the conqueror of Goliath. Note that Islamic tradition and the Bible differ in their accounts of the story of King David and Uriah

Solomon – Suleiman – سليمان
Mentioned 17 Times
Prophet
Sulayman (Solomon) learned a significant amount from his father David before God made him a Prophet. According to Islamic traditions, Sulayman received power to manipulate nature (including the Jinn) and the power to communicate with and control animals.
Known for his honesty and fairness, he also headed a kingdom that extended into southern Arabia.[ Job – Ayub – أيوب Mentioned 04 Times Prophet According to Islamic tradition, Ayyub received the reward of a fountain of youth, which removed all illnesses, except death, for his service to God in his hometown outside Al Majdal. Legend recounts that Ayyub suffered an illness for 18 years as test of patience carried out by God.

Issaiah – Most Likely Ezekiel – Dhul-Kifl- ذا الكفل Prophet Mentioned 02 Times The status of Dhul-Kifl as a Prophet remains debatable within Islam, although all parties to the debate can agree[ in seeing him as a righteous man who strived in the way of God. Some studies identify Dhul-Kifl with Obadiah, mentioned in the Old Testament as taking care of a hundred prophets:

Jonah – Yunus - يونس/ ذا النون
Mentioned 04 Times
Prophet & Messenger
Islamic tradition states that God commanded Yunus (Jonah) to help the people of Nineveh towards righteousness. However, Nineveh's people refused to listen to his message, so Yunus decides to abandon trying to help them and leaves. A sea creature (probably a blue whale) then swallows Yunus, and realizing he has made a mistake by giving up on his people, Yunus repents. The sea creature spits him out; Yunus then returns to Nineveh, attempting once more to lead his people to righteousness, and this time they follow him.

Zacharias – Zakariya – زكريا
Mentioned 07 Times
Prophet
A descendant of Sulayman, Zakariya (Zachariah), became a patron of Maryam (Mary) the mother of 'Isa (Jesus). According to the Qur'an, he prayed to God asking for a son, since his sterile wife al-Yashbi (Elizabeth) could not provide one. God granted his wishes, temporarily lifting his wife's sterility and allowing her to give birth to Yahya ibn Zakariyya (John).
John (The Baptist) – Yahya – يحيى
Mentioned 05 Times
Prophet
Yahya (John), cousin to Issa (Jesus), Islam says that, throughout his lifetime, he captivated audiences with his powerful sermons which preached Abrahamic monotheism.
Jesus – Issa – عيسى
Mentioned 25 Times
Prophet & Messenger
God sent one of the highest-ranked prophets in Islam, Eisa al-Maseeh, (Jesus the Messiah) to guide the Children of Israel. The Qur'an makes the nature of Jesus very clear, portraying him not as the physically begotten son of God, but rather as a nabi and rasul
(Messenger) of God: "O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an Prophet Apostle of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from
Him: so believe in Allah and His apostles. Say not "Trinity" :
desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah. Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs." (Nisa 4:171) in Yusuf Ali's translation.[65]

'Isa performed many miracles with the permission of God, for example: raising the dead, creating a bird from clay, and talking as an infant. Islamic traditions[state that he abstained from drinking alcohol. Tradition also states that he received a revelation, the Injil (Gospel), though according to Islam, it subsequently suffered from distortion[. Muslims believe that no crucifixion of 'Isa took place, meaning he did not die on the cross. Muslims believe that God raised Issa Jesus up to himself and that Issa (Jesus) will return to Earth to fight the Dajjal (the Imposter) and to break the cross. The Qur'an and Saheeh Hadith tell a consistent story.

That they (Jews) said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:- Issa, was the miracle birth son of Virgin Mother Mary (Miriam). Islam – after Christianity – is the only Religion that believes in The miracle birth of Jesus (Issa).
Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise;- And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them;-

PAKISTAN ECONOMIC SITUATION RESEMBLES A LOT LIKE WHEN TITANIC WAS SINKING

Economic Situation of Pakistan resembles a lot like when Titanic was sinking!

Passengers in the lower deck were the first to feel the effects of going under as compared to upper deck passengers. If you have forgotten the movie, please watch again so as my warning is fully understood by you all.

The lower deck passengers were running for their lives, same is happening in Pakistan for poor Pakistanis, they are selling their kids to survive, where as the rich are in total denial, just like Titanic, where the elite were talking to each other that the world biggest & safest ship cannot sink but later realized & started running for life boats.

Same will happen, when the elite of Pakistan start running to Dubai, UK, Canada & USA for shelter & survival --- but they are wrong. The lower deck passengers will not let them run & will jump into their life boats & some will die with them & rest might be able to survive & run to safe heavens. It might sound dramatic but this is the truth. God help Pakistan & Pakistanis!

ANATOMY OF TROUBLE IN PAKISTAN--MY OWN OPINION

Anatomy of Trouble in Pakistan

What is the anatomy of trouble in Pakistan.?

Is it the confrontation between the Government of Pakistan V/S Taliban or the confrontation between Pakistan Ruling Elite V/S Taliban ?

Socio-Economic and Political injustices in Pakistan are the main reasons of people of FATA and Southern Punjab joining Taliban.

Every one in the country believes that Pakistan Political and Military Leadership exactly know what Taliban wants .

Will Government through dialogue make Talibans normal citizen who will be willing to live under the administrative discipline of village SHO, Patwari, pay utility bills, pay taxes and accept the judgments of Lower and higher courts ?

Pakistan educated middle classes know that until socio-economic injustices are removed and the hold of present Ruling Classes is eliminated people like Taliban will continue to create problem. No dialogue will make Taliban behave like normal citizen but by initiating dialogue with Taliban, Govenment has made a group of our own society stakeholder in the affair of state.

By initiating the process of dialogue , all what the Ruling Elite and Political leadership is doing is to divert public attention from the main issue i.e., poor governance , economic stagnation , increase poverty , increase unemployment , and top of everything their own corruption .

FW: The Future of Pakistan - an Interview with Dr.Stephen Cohen

The Future of Pakistan –An Interview with Dr.Stephen Cohen

Dr Stephen P Cohen, a Senior Fellow at the Washington DC-based think tank the Brookings Institution, is considered as the ‘dean of the Pakistan experts’. He is known as one of the world’s most trusted authorities on the Pakistani military and its relationship with the civilian governments.

Author of Pakistan Army and the Idea of Pakistan, Dr Cohen recently edited a new book called The Future of Pakistan. The 325-page book focuses on a number of challenges Pakistan currently faces. Here are excerpts from a conversation with Dr Cohen about the predictions the book makes about Pakistan’s future.

Some of the best experts on Pakistan contribute to your book The Future of Pakistan. Why did you choose this title?

The book does not look at yesterday or today, but the day after tomorrow by examining the factors and variables which will influence the future of Pakistan. I became more concerned after publishing my 2004 book, The Idea of Pakistan, as many of its more pessimistic judgments were coming true. So, I invited some of the best scholars on the subject to share their ideas. All of them expressed concern about the existing situation. Most seemed to agree, however, that Pakistan would not experience major transformation in the next five to seven years. We did not try to look beyond that.
In my chapter, I paid special attention to the decline of the Pakistani state. The more I looked, the more pessimistic I became.

You say you did not want to offend your Pakistani friends while writing this book but you also insist that a hurtful truth is better than a pleasant lie. What are these hurtful truths about Pakistan that you think need to be told now?

One was that General Pervez Musharraf fooled himself and he fooled everyone else. He lacked toughness, he tried to please everyone. He was not capable of leading Pakistan’s liberal transformation, although he personally held a liberal vision of the future. Some Pakistanis and many Americans thought that Musharraf was the last hope for Pakistan. I disagree, there are a lot of good Pakistanis around, both in the military and outside of it. However, the army can’t govern the country effectively but it won’t let others govern it either. This is the governance dilemma. Pakistan is stuck between being an outright military dictatorship and a stable democracy. Neither are likely, and an even less likely future would be a radical transformation and the rise of Islamists or a breakaway movement led by the Baloch or other separatist groups. We did not see this coming soon, yet with the obvious breakdown of law and order, the decline of the economy, as well as a dysfunctional civilian-military relationship — change seems to be in the wind — but few of us can be precise about what that change will be. Pakistan is muddling through, but change and transformation are coming, I just don’t know when or how.
Weakness in governance, education, and the absence of land reform made Pakistan a victim of contemporary globalisation. It doesn’t make much that anyone wants to buy, and it is cut off from its natural regional trading partners. Yet, the negative aspects of Islamist globalisation have hit Pakistan hard. Some of the weirdest ideas in the Islamic world have found rich soil in Pakistan, and the country is regarded as an epicentre of terrorism. Pakistan, which was once held up as the most moderate of the Islamic states, seems to be embracing extremists and their dysfunctional violent ideas.

Is Pakistan on the verge of collapse?

No, it is not going to collapse. The military will ensure that the state will not collapse. It is not a country in need of critical support for its survival but it may yet happen some day, especially if the economy collapses.
Pakistan has to make a breakthrough and become a South Asian country. It should join India in a number of cooperative ventures while protecting its sovereignty against foreign interests and intrusions.
The Indians tend to be bullying when it comes to their neighbours, but Pakistanis are capable of defending their interests. Many Indians are ready for a change now. India sees itself as a major rising Asian state and Pakistan is a drag on it.
Yet, because of nuclearisation India can’t conceive of finishing off Pakistan. The only realistic option for India is cooperation. Islamabad’s decision to grant India the most favoured nation (MFN) status offers an opportunity to both countries; will it lead to a peace process? I don’t know, but their dilemma is that they cannot live with each other and they cannot live without each other. They need to cooperate along several dimensions, there is no military solution for the problems each has with the other.

Why do you call Pakistan a major foreign policy headache for the United States?

In the book I quote an American who said we assumed that with all our aid and alliances we believed that Pakistan would emerge as an independent democratic state. (USA has supported every Pakistani dictator to the hilt and hence is at least partly responsible for Pakistan not being an independent democratic state) However, it turned out that India, which did not get our military assistance and partnership, has emerged as that kind of country. (Probably one of the reasons they succeeded was that USA did not directly interfere).
The Pakistanis, particularly the military, have a hard time looking around for role models. Turkey, Indonesia or Malaysia may not be the perfect role models for Pakistan. Perhaps the best political role model for you is India which is also a diverse South Asian state, but now with a stable political order and growing economic power. In India, the military has a legitimate role but still remains under the government’s control.
It is the responsibility of the Pakistani civilian government to find a legitimate role for the Pakistani army, and the army must help in that search, the present arrangement is not working.

You say you don’t know where Pakistan is heading to but once it gets there you will explain why it was inevitable.

I quoted a former US ambassador to the Soviet Union who said, “I don’t know what is going to happen to the Soviet Union but when it does happen I will tell you exactly why it was inevitable.” So, looking ahead at Pakistan’s future, we don’t know what is going to happen to Pakistan but we know something alarming is happening to it. Pakistan will remain, but its identity is changing.
As for America’s mixed role in Pakistan, there were two areas where we should have been more accommodating. First, we should have recognised Pakistan as a nuclear power after it tested its weapons in 1998 — as we did with the Indians. This would have legitimised the Pakistani nuclear programme and reduced the paranoia that the Americans were trying to deprive them of their nuclear capability; it might also have contributed to more responsible Pakistani nuclear policy, right now it is the fastest growing nuclear weapons state in the world — and one with a bad record of transferring nuclear technology in the past. Second, the US should have provided trade opportunities, instead of only military aid, to Pakistan after 9/11 <x-apple-data-detectors://5> . There was a serious Pakistani interest in increasing trade, not just receiving military aid; the US did not respond to this.

How can Pakistan get out of what you call the burden of its history and narrative of victimhood?

First, economic trade between Pakistan and the rest of South Asia should be encouraged. It should hook up with India, one of the fastest growing economies in the world, as well as continue its ties with China. The Iran-Pakistan-Indian pipeline is a good idea and I am baffled why the Americans have always opposed it. Yes, it will help the Iranians, but the pipeline will also help the Afghans, the Indians and the Pakistanis. In my math, three positives outweigh one negative.
Second, Pakistani governments have been cowardly in dealing with those who oppose modernity and try to push the country back to the seventh century. Perhaps the cowardice comes from the fact that the state uses some of these groups for its own strategic purposes, a fatal and self-defeating miscalculation.

Why do you argue that the Pakistani military has neither run the country effectively nor allowed others to run it?

Well, because they are not trained to be economists or how to run businesses although the military manages a lot of businesses once they retire. They are not trained to be politicians. Being a politician is a difficult skill to acquire. People cannot be ordered about, especially Pakistanis. As a politician, you have to find common interests by working with people who dislike each other; Pakistan needs to develop a true political class.
In Pakistan, the military has identified enemies among its fellow-citizens. If you demonise your own people, you are in deep trouble. I mean you can’t treat the Bengalis or the Baloch, or other ethnic or religious minorities the way you treat foreign enemies. That’s the route to catastrophe, as we have seen both in Pakistan and other countries that have given up on pluralism and tolerance and headed down the road to self-destruction.
Of Pakistan’s military leaders, Ayub Khan tried to act as a politician but failed because he could not address two deeper problems, education and land reforms. If you look at the East Asian tigers, they all dealt with land reforms early and invested heavily in education at all levels. Even China has done this, albeit through totalitarian coercion, which would not work in pluralistic Pakistan.

How much influence will Islam and the army continue to exercise on the future of Pakistan?

I like the idea of seeing Islamic parties getting a chance to govern, and then discovering whether they succeed or fail. I’d also like to see somebody like Imran Khan get elected — not that I am a particular fan of his, but let him get elected and assume the burden and responsibilities of governance, and be held accountable. Let him succeed or fail on these terms.
I had a conversation with Musharraf right after his coup and told him that while the obviously corrupt and extremist political leaders had to be held accountable, that he should also hold elections and let the democratic process move forward. He responded to the effect that he was going to fix the system once and for all. I knew then he was in deep trouble. In a normal state you have to allow people to fail. They must run for office, get elected and then fail on their own terms. It should be left to the people of Pakistan to decide who they elect to rule them. In the long run, they will make the right decision, but the courts, the press, and, rarely, even the military, will be around to prevent disaster. Failure should be seen as helping to perfect the system, not a sign of a bad system. The cure for bad democracy is more and better democracy, not an incompetent military regime, which only breeds resentment as it covers up its failures. In Pakistan the mentality seems to be that having won an election, the victor can persecute his or political rivals. I’d prefer a moderate competent military regime to this kind of pseudo democracy.

How is failure in Afghanistan going to affect Pakistan?

If the Taliban come back to power or if they play a significant role in the future dispensation, there will be a major blowback on Pakistan. We may yet see how the government of Pakistan responds to the Taliban mindset which says that ‘we [Taliban] have defeated one superpower, the United States, in Afghanistan and now we will take control of Pakistan and then India.’ This is a revolutionary movement that has to be contained and stopped, not provided with safe-haven and political support. Staying away from Bonn was a strategic gaffe that put Pakistan on the opposite side of virtually the entire world.

What are some of the future scenarios and options you discuss in the book about Pakistan?

Some American experts are talking about containing Pakistan. This is premature language, but if Pakistan pursues policies which are hostile to American interests in Afghanistan and if they support terrorism then we might move to a policy of containment. This would have two dimensions: erecting a military barrier while supporting internal transformation. I don’t know about containing Pakistan militarily, it seems to be pursing self-defeating policies in any case, but I support the latter kind of policy. America’s goal should be a normal Pakistan.

What should or can be done to immediately bring Pakistan into what you call a ‘normal state category’?

The long-term key to normalising Pakistan is India. The fear of India drives the Pakistan army and the army drives Pakistan. If India can normalise with Pakistan in one way or the other, then Pakistan can devote its resources and energy to becoming a more attractive and respected country.

What are the warning signs and revolutionary options for Pakistan?
An interesting part of the book is where I compare Pakistan with a num

ber of other states. Pakistan is unlikely to follow the Iranian model of a clergy-led revolution because the army in Pakistan is stronger than its counterpart was in Iran. The negative case for Pakistan would be that of Tsarist Russia where the country was destabilised by World War I, the army fell apart and Russia’s ruling nobility had no credibility, and revolutionary groups filled the gap. There are also other bad examples like the Balkans or Yugoslavia, or interwar Japan, where the military pursued fatally self-destructive policies vis-a-vis the West and China.
Never in history have we seen a country so big with so many nuclear weapons in this kind of trouble. When the Chinese went through their cultural revolution, they did not have nuclear weapons. Hence, people were not much afraid of China. When the Soviet Union disintegrated and became Russia, they knew they wanted to become Europeans. Pakistanis should now decide to become South Asians by becoming once again a part of South Asia.

Can China become an alternative strategic partner of Pakistan to replace the US?

If the Chinese could teach Pakistan how to become an economic power, that would be great. Yet, the Chinese are not going to teach Pakistan how to become a democracy. (Neither has the USA taught Pakistan democracy by supporting dictators. At least China is not guilty of that sin.) Given Pakistan’s complexity and social diversity, democracy is a good system for it because it allows most people to have a say in the affairs of the state. You can’t run Pakistan from the centre. The army has tried that many times but has failed. After every military takeover, they called back the civilians within three years. On the political front, China is not a role model for Pakistan.

Out of nukes, huge population and geostrategic location, what worries the world the most about an unstable Pakistan?

The nuclear weapons are probably under responsible control. If Pakistan breaks down or some separatist movements succeed, as happened in 1971, then we’ll begin to worry about the nuclear weapons. Pakistan, like North Korea, is “too nuclear to fail,” that is, no one wants to see a real nuclear weapons state disintegrate.
Also Pakistan, like North Korea, uses its nuclear asset and its political fragility as a means to extract concessions from other countries. We’ve contributed to this begging-bowl syndrome, for years. The US should provide aid to Pakistan but link it to more concrete reforms in education, administration, and democratisation. Otherwise we are wasting our time and money. I don’t like the term ‘trust deficit’; trust will grow when there are clear — and public — links between our respective obligations over time.
