Give up all hope for the short term. The tribal chiefs, the people connected by blood rather than by the nation-state. (region between Afghanistan and Pakistan)

Places that were ran by the British -that got independence without war- were always left uningovernable on purpose, thus the mountain they have to climb.

The religious, the miliatry that will lose power...
That will take time.

The Pakistanisn I met are not unreasonable people, I was positively impressed by them. I think they won't nosedive into failed state like South Africa.

South africa is fucked up beyond repair.

A big problem for Pakistan is that India has signed a big arms deal with Russia.
With the loss of their US-compliant dictator, who is going to be sugar daddy to the Paks and give them parity of arms ?
