It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.

Mr. Unknown, Mr. Johann, Coolpak & Ms. Nazia…

thank you all for taking time to comment on my piece of writing…

Ms Nazia…I am sorry but I dont agree with the obviousness of presence of Sharif bros & Co being not in favour of US. But I raised the point of the fact being that we are ourselves responsible for this situation…

If you think that Gov. being in hands of the MqM …making a difference in the wave of terrorism…I dont know if that is related…How should we remove foreign elements…I wrote earlier that the need is to change the system…

so lets put our priorities
where they should be

-peace

Fzuberi
it is quite obvious to whole nation that movement of restoration of judges and presence of sharif brothers are not in favour of US that;s why the opposed all those forces who are trying to resume it.Why for two months the punjab areas are being targeted by worst kind of terrorism.13 years before such types of scenes were seen mostly in karachi .So now there conditions were controlled by giving absolute powers to mqm and now center of terrorism is shifted to Punjab , Islamabad and northern side.Such wave of terrorism is actually produced when international forces try to run the state as per their wishes and in reaction locals give reaction as per their capacity.So first we should remove forgein elements and their interests in our state then the days will come when we would be able to enjoy the colours of democracy in its real spirit..

Good one, fzuberi!

I am glad there is someone out there who is not over-whelmed by the process itself and can see the real issues.

Hi fzuberi,

You educated pakistanies have to guard this victory eternally. Independent judiciary is one of the pillars of democracy.

Good Luck Pakistan!!.
I’m no expert in this but every form of government has its own pros and cons. In Democracy, development comes very slow. In dictatorship unlike democracy things can be expedited but again we can’t help nepotism and tyranny. Democracy is being accepted increasingly by many nations to mention the recent ones like Bhutan, Nepal..well I don’t know about western countries.
As you said the real issue is just one ‘Terrorism’. It is again omnipresent, we in India also fear of suicide bombers, train blasts. You said the act of war by the ‘Next door neighbor’.. we are surrounded by many neighbours like that.
