Norway — ugly, but inevitable

Letter July 31, 2011
Leadership that is willing and able to seek answers and solutions is needed, appears to be a quality very much missing

WASHINGTON DC: Zarrar Khuhro’s article of July 29 titled “Norway — ugly, but inevitable” is brilliant. Years ago, animal psychologists noted that when animal populations increase in a laboratory setting, the level of interpersonal violence, sexual aberration and social dislocation increases as well. Lest we forget, the world’s population recently doubled in the past 50 years, a fact very noticeable to those who were around then and now.

Certainly there is any number of ambitious people who want government jobs who are willing to pander to the interests of likely voters. These are merely opportunists who offer no solutions other than retaining their own positions. Leadership that is willing and able to seek answers and solutions is needed and that appears to be a quality very much missing from those in the current political spectrum.
