Pakistan short of everything except crises
By Syed Fazl-e-Haider QUETTA, Pakistan - There is a crisis of crises facing Pakistan. While the political crisis centering on President Pervez Musharraf and the future of general elections scheduled for February 18 dominate the headlines, this country of 160-plus million people faces a tangle of escalating problems, extending from energy shortages to soaring wheat prices to a cotton industry facing meltdown. Not least, there is a crisis of confidence among foreign investors and a leadership crisis among political activists after the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto on December 27.
