A rogue state.............!!!

it is preposterous that many social scientists plead for the bailing out of Pakistan. After all, the country is not facing a natural disaster. Its economic meltdown is self-inflicted as it insisted on acquiring nuclear weapons and let Islamist terrorism flourish. Ever since its inception in 1947, Pakistan chose to subsist on foreign handouts. It never bothered to learn the art of earning its living through strategic planning, economic reforms and investment in higher education. Instead of propping up Pakistan time and again, is it not time the West encouraged Islamabad to cut its defence spending on nuclear technology, missile development and proxy wars, and is taught to live within its means?
