MacArthur should return
Pakistan's current crisis comes with an opportunity for the international community, led by the United States, to work towards a lasting remedy to the ‘international migraine’. Between late 1945-1952, a period of just seven years, General Douglas MacArthur occupied Japan, reconstructed its war-torn economy, demilitarised the state, fixed the education system and instituted a democracy that has endured since then. It is hard to find a better to-do list for today’s Pakistan.
