Nuke culture
Talk shows on diverse issues hosted by Mr. Hamid Mir and Mr. Kamran Khan on GEO TV in the recent times - I mean, up to and including yesterday, 14th day of October 2008 - are, in an average sense and as appropriate - found to be well focused on Pakistan's competing priorities; competitive in terms of time, space, and outcome related potentials; civil at inter-human levels; well researched; well presented; and antidote seekers when it comes to fighting diseases of in-country and ex-country origins at political, non-political and other levels. Well done!
It is expected GEO TV will - from now onwards - be able to deal with the big picture of matters to be discussed in its future discussion programmes in a more balanced, more unbiased, more reliable, more neutral, fairer, more open, more objective, more substantive, more innovative, more realistic, and more user-friendly, as well as result-friendly fashion than that at present - as far as humanly and otherwise practicable, though.
It is also expected future discussions on the GEO will be instrumental in inter alia liberating further people's mindset from tunnel visions when it comes to say, dissecting the country's present problems and proffering solutions to those problems in the context of an increasingly interdependent and continually usable-opportunity scarce universe.
The last word: Pakistan, at present a nuclear armed country, should be able to demonstrate before world people - through for example, various programmes of GEO TV, PTV, Radio Pakistan and other facilities (print, electronic, etc.) - levels of maturity, sense and sensibility, sophistication, competitiveness and foresightedness (in pertinent areas) that would, at least to an acceptable extent and on continuous basis, be compatible (used in a positive sense) with those of other nuclear armed countries in the universe.
The protection, preservation and promotion of the country's nuclear status would require, among other things and as appropriate, a meaningful cultivation of competitive nuke culture - used in a wider sense at local and other levels. Let us hope for the best.
