[ALOCHONA] A word of praise for CTG, Bangladeshi style, from Pakistan

        Interesting comments regarding Bangladesh from Pakistan:

"The 1971 debacle proved that Pakistan was a failed experiment," said Aamir.

   Who will save Pakistan? Here is another suggestion:

Before we do anything, the present weak, inefficient and corrupt regime, has to be shown the way out.

A transitional/interim caretaker government of non-political technocrats (not exceeding 9), a cross-section of professional leaders, who are not even remotely affiliated with any political  party, have to be put in place with a very focused mandate and hard deadlines to pull the failed state out from the trenches and get it back on its tracks. This transitional team will get rid of the word Islamic before Republic of Pakistan as one of its first tasks and will also schedule and monitor fair elections, before it makes its exit.

There is nothing magical or Utopian about this. One should operate on the replicate the template methodology and follow the road-map of bro General Moeen Ahmed of Bangladesh. How many generals do we know in any developing country, who have executed the following:

• come out of the barracks to save the county
• not declare martial law
• get the bull by the horns and throw a few stools around
  
• neutralize the mullahs and reinforce law and order
  
• schedule and hold elections
• hand over the power to the elected party, restore democracy
  
• appoint his successor while still holding office (General Mubeen)
  
• retire on the stipulated day on June 15, 2009 and make a graceful exit
• all signed, sealed and delivered in two years, without even seeking promotion

This is no lalaland but Bangladesh, a part of us, surgically amputated 40 years ago. Moeen too is not without controversy, but then when in the end you have something tangible to show to your countrymen, critics are smart enough to maintain the sound of silence.

Learning has no limitations. Its quite OK to take a course from the younger brother, (specially if he is smarter) before we get a real kick in the pants from the big brother and face the Tunisia/Egypt experience. The only difference is that the bloodshed in our case could be much worse, if this surgical operation is delayed any further.
