I think that his last paragraph was the most meaningful while everything preceding was basically conventional understanding, at least for me. The last paragraph was pretty interesting and I wish he had expanded on it. It does appear to be that the sunnah of Allah is to degrade a country from comfort when it has fallen morally.

And I daresay it helped produce the generation of selfless, principled people that looked after the country in its infancy, so that we had a head start of some decades of genuinely honest development while others achieving independence at the same time as us in Asia and Africa descended into civil war, despotism, and corruption.

That generation is gone, and our nation yet reaps the benefits in the wake of their service, but I cannot say those who followed after them are nearly so principled. So I hope my people can become again so thoughtful, learned and courageous, before our nation goes the way so many others have gone.
