I was quoting the author and not you but since you've replied to it, lets have a healthy debate.

Pakistan’s external debt has climbed to $36.9 billion from $33.6 billion in 1999 despite the fact the country received at least $10 billion in economic, military and development aid from the United States, over $6 billion in privatization proceeds, and a relief of $1.6 billion in loan write-offs by foreign governments over the last seven years, the experts say.
The rescheduling of Paris Club debts provided an additional relief of $1.2 to $1.5 billion annually in terms of debt service payments. Is the government’s debt management policy as sound and successful as it claims it is, or a historic opportunity to restructure the country’s high debt levels has fallen victim to political expediency or a false sense of achievement, the economists question.
Even after having received such generous assistance, Pakistan’s external debt to GDP ratio is 28 per cent - slightly worse than Africa’s 26.2 per cent, which also happens to be the average for all the developing countries. The average external debt to GDP ratio of all emerging markets declined from 42.1 in 1999 to 26.2 per cent in 2006.
Pakistan received generous foreign aid as well as much higher levels of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the post-9/11 period. Remittances averaged around $4 billion a year during 2003-2006 compared to an average of $1.5 billion in the 1990s.
The government’s claim of having broken the begging bowl has also proved wrong as its share in total public and publicly-guaranteed debt has increased from 37.5 per cent to 50.2 per cent in 2006.
The economic experts have already refuted the tall claims of economic growth by the power corridors and warned that the GDP growth rate could not be maintained in the current fiscal.
“Unrealistic claims of economic growth in recent days by the power corridors have made economy’s future bleak as they, instead of taking appropriate measures to arrest the negative indicators, are only making paper-claims,” (Dr Shahid Hasan Siddiqui.)
At present, the trade deficit, current account deficit, budgetary deficits, internal and external debts and the pace of throwing away national assets through privatization is the highest in the history of Pakistan
The country’s overall external debt maintained its upward trend in 2006-07, rising by 4.35 percent or $1.1623 billion in nine months (June-March 2006-07).
“The total external debt of the Pakistan stood at $38.864 billion on March 31, 2007, up by 4.35 percent or $1.623 billion, as compared with $37.241 billion on June 30, 2006,” data released by the State Bank of Pakistan said here on Saturday.

Twisted facts. Here is something you should consider reading in conjunction with those above before you jump to a conclusion:
- the Asian financial crisis;
- economic sanctions — according to Colin Powell, Pakistan was "sanctioned to the eyeballs";
- global recession;
- severe rioting in the port city of Karachi;
- a severe drought — the worst in Pakistan's history, lasting four years;
- heightened perceptions of risk as a result of military tensions with India — with as many as a million troops on the border, and predictions of impending (potentially nuclear) war;
- the post-9/11 military action in neighboring Afghanistan, with a massive influx of refugees from that country;
- the 2005 Pakistan earthquake
- the 2007 Balochistan flooding
GDP in 2000: 3,826,111
GDP in 2006: 6,581,103
Public Debt in 1999-2000: 100% of the country’s GDP
Public Debt in 2006-2007: 55% of GDP
Fact: Having improved its finances, Pakistan's government announced in 2004 that it would no longer require IMF assistance, and the assistance program ended in that year.
According to John Wall, the World Bank Country Director for Pakistan, Now Pakistan faces higher quality problems—the problems of
success.
Pakistan is among the fastest growing economies in the world as its economy has reached the size of
$129 billion from a mere $70 billion a few years earlier. Major automakers, such as BMW, Toyota, and Honda have invested in manufacturing facilities in the country.
In 2005, the World Bank reported that:

Pakistan was the top reformer in the region and the number 10 reformer globally — making it easier to start a business, reducing the cost to register property, increasing penalties for violating corporate governance rules, and replacing a requirement to license every shipment with two-year duration licenses for traders.

People like you have been doing it for the past 60 odd years or so, where are the results? I don't see any good as a result. It's time you should consider doing something constructive instead of yapping like a nitwit.

The only difference between the two is the fact that corruption by civilians is exposed and made public, but corruption involving members of the armed forces is kept under wraps.

If there are such elements in the Armed forces then why don't 'we' as a nation stand up and confront them face/face? If you have proof, why don't you submit a petition in the Supreme court?

Not only religious and educated civilians have been illegally abducted but also military men could not escape the repercussions of the current military regime’s policy of being US close ally on rooting out terrorism. and some shameful peoples are supporting him i called them rag dolls

Whereas in Article 10 (2), it says, “Every person who is arrested and detained in custody shall be produced before a magistrate within a period of twenty-four hours of such arrest, excluding the time necessary for the journey from the place of arrest to the court of the nearest magistrate, and no such person shall be detained in custody beyond the said period without the authority of a magistrate.”
Article 9: “No person shall be deprived of life and liberty save in accordance with law.”

We have earned bounties totaling millions of dollars,” says President Musharaff at the back cover of his book. (he is a bounty hunter lol i love the movie  )

You want the terrorists to be honored?

I didn't say all of them were terrorists but certainly they're growing in numbers. I'd suggest that you watch CNN's Pakistan: the threat within.

Then we have Disaster relief management society which is helping 1 million+ poor families financially. And of course, Punjab government's reformed the healthcare dept and people are receiving free treatment even in the rural areas by qualified doctors.
