Dear Teeshah & NHK

I am thankful for your insights,

It is a question of who is good enough in our leadership. what do you think of Imran Khan ?

Well done dear! In fact Pakistan is not a country but a Federation which owes its existence to the Constitution. The latest one, that of 1973, did carry Article 6 which says ``Any person who abrogates or attempts or conspires to abrogate, subverts or conspires to subvert the Constitution by use of force or show of force or by other unconstitutional means shall be guilty of high treason, et seq.

Where has gone that Article and even the judge of the Supreme Court who could have enforced it? But the theatre of absurdity is going on, Mullah gardi being overtaken now by `Matarwa gardi` to turn it into a theatre of tragedy. Alas! All high sounding words having lost all meanings.

``We need to have the courage do the right thing and do it rightly; we need to learn from the UAE and the Turkish example``

Still looking west for the messianic virtues. All the while tapping your feet to sweet sounds of bhangra. sad..it really is. The answer lies to your east not west.

Mian Sahib

I have seen it happen with Ayub, Yahya - Zia was lucky to have been picked up from air.
So this is the end of all-knowing over-confident & confused Musharraf.

His only saving grace was his fight against the `Radical Islam`. Even there he has chickened out against the petty Mullas of a small madressa.

He better arrange for a UAE or Saudi or London shelter - where all our leaders find their eventual resting place.
