Seldom in the world history has there been a nation as eventful as Pakistan of Noughties. The early years of Musharraf and the strengthening of Pakistan economy came to a grinding post 9/11. What has happened since then only reflects the snake-pit that it has turned into. The way it handles and hoodwinks world major powers is a scene to watch. However, on the domestic front, the country has slowly slipped into abyss. The lawyers’ movement, assassination of Benazir Bhutto, return of Nawaz Sharif and the rise of Pakistani Taliban, one after another, has turned the country into a free for all. Meanwhile, its relation with most of its neighbours is estranged. Even the return of democracy is largely meaningless for its people because of its multiplicity of authorities.
