What can be done?

   The problem is that we have failed to unite Pakistan, failed to establish
productive educational institutions, failed to acquire sustainable economic
policies, and failed to have a strong foreign policy. In my opinion, the main
problem in Pakistan is the unstable political structure. The problem is not that we are in
an unstable political situation, but the problem lies in us, the people of
Pakistan, hoping for something new from our old political structure. 

   The old faces remain stable in
our unstable economic and political structure. They are not going to change
policies because these policies are in their favor. If they change policies,
they will lose their political power and economic dominance in the country as
well. When the political structure changes, new thoughts, and ideas may be more
successful in the new situation than old ones. Similarly, when economic
policies change, the market's focus may shift from one product to another,
resulting in potential losses for the elites.

   We have to understand that the
old faces are not going to bring new policies. The only way to improve our
condition is to give a chance to new faces. However, this should not be done
with blind faith or merely because the old ones were corrupt. We have to
understand their motives and evaluate their economic and political
policies."

   For more clear understanding I recommend
