Hmm... that does ring true. Indeed, Pakistan cannot last and something does need to be done about it, I suppose it would be the best of all possible options at present. Iran is a country that I admire on a historical and civilizational level, although I am of the camp of thought that the...

I know that for economic growth to occur, you need a stable sociopolitical environment. That is what I meant; Pakistan has barely any sociopolitical progress worth noting. Splitting Pakistan into four ethnic states doesn't guarantee that they will further stabilize, if anything they're more at...
