Pakistan Alert: Revolution in the Making? I cannot agree with you more, as a Pakistani -Canadian citizen, I am very disappointed at the reaction of the Candian government towards the recent events in Pakistan.

We have an opportunity here to try and get the country back from all the corrupt politicians and rebuild a country that has been in a steady decline for the past decade.

The democracy we had in Pakistan was nothing more than another name for a politically imposed dicatotrship. Successive governments have stolen billions out of Pakistan, bought palaces around the world on the backs of the average Pakistani, with no remorse and a total absence of conscience.

The Canadian government/west has an opportunity to provide true leadership and assitance, but instead they make statements without having any idea what is going on in Pakistan. It is the typical west attitude ``either my way or the highway``.

It is my sincere hope that this government will eliminate and punish persons heavily that have taken these treasonous actions. In addition, not to fall victim to pressure from the west regarding implementation of a democratic governement. We have neither the infrastructure nor political leaders at this time that can operate a democratic government in the true sense.

I am intrigued that you mentioned the word ``governance``, I am sure that most people are not clear on the true meaning of the word. It is about guiding the organization, the distribution of rights, obligations and power that underpins the social system. How to coordinate activities and sustain cohernece, explore dysfunction and lacklustre performance. Then to make suggestions to redesign the process. In the past Pakistan is an excellent example of what happens when a proper governance system is not put in place. Lets do it right this time!!!!!!!!!

In closing, lets try and fix our society and internal organization before we try implement political systems from the west that have their own intrinsic problems.
