The west has been forecasting Pakistan’s demise since the 70’s, first when Pakistan’s eastern half seceded to become Bangladesh in 1971, then during the violence that preceded General Zia ul-Haq’s coup in 1977, then again when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, when Zia was killed in 1988, again after 9/11, once more after the 2007 death of Bhutto and now after yet another political crisis.

But Pakistan is still at it, still not a failed state.
