The answer to the question that has been proposed by the writer is that Pakistan is not a failed state. Just because the current government is not performing well does not mean that Pakistan has failed in any way. There is generally a down fall in the economy around the world. Greece has been declared a failed economy and state. We should remember that the Argentinian economy crashed a few years back but stabilised itself later on. Similarly, after the fall of Soviet Union, people had to stand in queue for hours for a loaf of bread. At least, the situation in Pakistan is not that bad.
