- Yes, they have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of
- Pakistan. But, put it this way: Nawaz was/is not a near and dear one
- of western community but Benazir let them down when they needed her
- during the Gulf War. In Pakistan the government/the president/the
- army, can do whatever they want and in Benazir's case they have
- sacked her on charges of corruption. Uncle sam will use Nawaz when
- ever they want, so thats why he is getting some indirect support. If
- Benazir is ready to surve this old uncle than she has to proof her
- worth, which she failed to do in the past.

- Its real pitty that we are keeping these old faces in our national
- politics eventhough they have disappointed us time and again. I think
- democracy has been used in a very different sense, which is more
- close to dynasties and dictatorships. We are forced (or we are
- that fool) to select politicians with no moral decency. They brain
- wash their followers in such a way that they never go against them
- in their lifetime and thats how they go to assemblies and legislative
- councils in all seasons. The more corrupt you are the more respect
- and honour you will get in Pakistan. The bigger the theif you
- are the more important ministery you get...whatta country.

- No, if a power hungry women don't respect the rights of a common man
- than there should be no mercy for her. Its politics with no moral
- codes, there is no islam and there shouldn't be any specific place
- for an orphan child. These are all bogus arguments, give me
- something real and more practical.

- Don't expect too much from these old faces, they will give you
- what they are capable of.
