Let us start there. Mr. Zardari and Mr, Nawaz Sharif should put in $30 million from their stolen billions and start a non-profit subsidized Public Transport Service. This bus can hold down fares for daily wage earners and other citizens of Islamabad. My Husband used to go to Gordon College from Pindi on a GT double Decker bus. Alas most of these were burnt during anti-Ayub protests. Also Mr.Zardari and other VIP's should cut back on motorcades and other unnecessary luxaries at Governmetn houss and military messes. Whenever our VIP's go abroad,ministers and generals alike, each a has a separate limousine plus another for their wives costing upto $1000 per day. These cars sit around round the clock. There is no security risk issue especially in the USA. Surely this money could be used for providing transportation for our working poor. For people representing a poor country such shows of wealth at the expense of the starving is indeed the wrong message to send to the USA officials to give us more money! The US government servants at the state dept that deal with our Generals and Ministers themselves ride the metro or bus to work. They are absolutely amazed at the huge limousines being used by the Pakistani delegation. Some of these limousines even have food and drink for the VIP to enjoy. Someone should do an audit of Limousine cost of overseas trips,in the name of security.Nobody knows our VIP's in Washington or London for that matter and there really is no security risk in the USA. There is no reason why the embassy cannot get a full size Cadillac on a weekly rental that will cost only $400 for the week driven by our Embassy driver that could easily accommodate at least four of these high-flying VIP's. I have seen Mohtarmah BiBi driving around with one of her workers in a simple private car. There were no limousines. Not many people who are not from Pakistan receognized BiBi and there was no security risk. This was in September 2007 before her fateful trip to Pakistan. Ghazala Khan:
