alas.. we thrive on bad news don’t we? the morbid, morose, pessimistic.. not to mention all the news that encourages strife and divisiveness eh? i fail to understand the psyche behind it. had it been for nations like the US where such tabloid behavior can be afforded, considering people have little else to do with their lives, i could’ve maybe understood. however, a nation like pakistan that desperately needs unity, cohesion and staunch support from within (the example of the current operation’s success because of public support is evident), is overspilling with the morose possibilities of a split between the coalition. it’s not about Zardari’s leadership… why blame him for the incompetency and incapable ministers and office holders? since when were education, skill-building and capacity-building institutions in pakistan been upto par in the individuals they have trained or built? it’s just that Zardari is an easy scapegoat for all of us. he’s got the repute right? why not plug it all on him?
i urge a reality check

@ Maria
I wont disagree with you at large, but some indicators show that things are moving somehow in the opposite direction. Well, its an old tale to describe how Gillani played a supportive role in judiciary re-instatement against the wishes of his top boss, and also the way he held a series of meeting after that episode with the Sharif’s.
But, the recent asress, which ofcourse cant be neglected and was more of a declaration of war, was carried out by Gillani on his own, with President in US. This shows that the political forces(i mean the real one) have somehow sidelined the President for the time being, and its so far so good. Imagine the COAS refusal to visit US due to the critical situation which is prevailing. In reality, the President should have been there, if he was in control.
For the time being,the pure democratic forces are inclined to let this setup run for the time being, because all the leaders realize that this menace can be faces, only with a national consensus.

Maria pleasse stop cursing people and politicians. do something yourself to change the system. try to start an NGO which works for poverty eradication and corruption stop.
Instead of wasting your valuable time sitting on the net and writing such good stuff u wuill surely do something good bfot the society.
It is true when u say Pakistan has corrupt politicians but all over the world there are corrupt politicians. please see that India which is a bifg democracy there are more corrupt politicams with criminal background than anywhere else uin the world.
Indian judiciary is very corrupot and majority of the people almost half the population lives below the poverty line.
Please please stop cursinfg time foir action.
