Do You Have a Substitute?

#10 Posted by hamidm2,

Yes I agree with the wedding season ... but tell me, re what you say "maybe, mushy will use this period to send all those .. in jahanum ..."

What more do you think musharraf can do now which he hasn't already been doing?

Re: # 9

zeemax,

.... oh, please! ..... stop being so melodramatic ..... the people of pakistan - those who really matter, not the unwashed savages of swat and waziristan - are busy with the wedding season and couldn't care less who is in the presidency ........ most pakis are a herd of sheep and the jihadis are busy chasing real sheep .... nothing is going to happen until the wedding season is over and by that time musharraf will have his new hung parliament and civy government .......

....... but there could be a silver lining to this cloud ... maybe, just maybe, mushy will use this period to send all those who love al-lah more than their fellow man to play with their seventy virgins in jahanum ........ hoefully, when the dust settles sheep and kohl-eyed boys will be safe in pakistan ..... can't blame a guy for dreaming ...

Yeah this is the 'aakhri mukka' which your idol musharraf had threatened with. And you, being a simpleton, believe he did it because he's the only one who is capable of running that country.

Actually, he has just widened the gulf between people and administration to unbridgeable dimensions, and put Pakistan on the path of civil unrest which will be impossible to control. The result will be anarchy and bloodshed and ultimately the end of the federation of Pakistan as we know it.

Salman,

Why should not every one throw stone at the so called sinner.??
That is what Pakistan made for - a land of pure Sunnis where every momeen must strive to monitor every one else's sinful ways!!!

Every one is an Allah's warrior. Jihad is what is taught to you in state sponsored courses. "Shahadat" is important and every kid must make speeches about it in order to be a good Pakistani citizen.
Hindus are Najis. Idolators are to be killed. Kafirs and jews to be made dhimmis. Jizya must be paid by zimmis in order to survive.
A mard-e-momeen is the supreme ideal of Pakistan.
Finally, Pakistan is the light of ummah- the best and most powerful nuclear momeen state that will finally vanquish the idolator land of hind!!!

This ideology is my dear boy the cause of PAkistan's fate!!!

What you sow is what you reap - either in this world or in the world nether - no intercession works for being a momeen!!

A plan of action beyond a usual statement of condemnation

Friends of South Asia (www.friendsofsouthasia.org) is meeting on Sunday, November 4, at 6 pm at Newark City library for its Eid-Diwali program and to brainstorm on devising a strategy to deal with the present political crisis in Pakistan. Here is the first draft of a plan of action FOSA is working on and would like to discuss in the meeting.

With the imposition of Emergency on November 3 General Pervez Musharraf has plunged Pakistan into terrible uncertainty. Whereas General Pervez Musharraf says he took the precarious step to save Pakistan, no one doubts the only thing Musharraf is interested in saving is his own grip on power.

We condemn Pervez Musharraf’s latest authoritarian decree and want Pakistanis and well-wishers of Pakistan to build pressure on him to take back the emergency measures. But having witnessed Pervez Musharraf’s propensity to sacrifice anything for his own personal gain we doubt if Musharraf under any cogent force would backtrack.

Considering Pakistanis desire for democracy, the recent struggle for the restoration of a Chief Justice illegally removed by the dictator, the ongoing pro-civil society debates in the erstwhile independent Pakistani media, and the pro-democracy sentiments within the Pakistan Army we wish to humbly suggest a shorter path towards restoring order in Pakistan.

In order to facilitate removal of Pervez Musharraf and to avoid further chaos in the country by keeping its institutions intact we urge Pakistanis in general and Pakistan’s political parties in particular to quickly form an interim government. The interim government and events related to its enactment should have the following features:

1. The interim government should be headed by an interim president who would hold free and fair general elections in the shortest span of time.
2. To ensure working of an independent judiciary all Supreme Court judges deposed on November 3 by Pervez Musharraf should be restored to their positions.
3. Pakistan Army should stop taking orders from Pervez Musharraf and current Vice Chief of Army Staff, General Kayani should immediately take charge of the forces. General Kayani should work under the interim president.
4. All political workers and members of legal fraternity arrested in the wake of emergency should be released.
5. All bureaucratic institutions with their current officers should keep functioning under the interim president.

We urge Pakistani political parties to quickly consent to an interim president. One choice obvious to many would be Retired Chief Justice Wajihuddin Ahmed who as a public servant not only had a spotless career, but who gained considerable public support while recently running for President against Pervez Musharraf

Till an interim government through the wishes of Pakistanis and Pakistan’s political parties takes command we ask all citizens to commence an indefinite strike starting from Monday, November 5.

Very true indeed. Why do we get to see severed heads and dying people lying in a pool of blood every day on TV. Do these images help? What of the families of the people shown? Do you see the footage of what happened on 9/11 anymore on TV? Why? This is the time to get together and stop throwing mud at each other. Stop trying to take advantage of the situation. Get together and talk about solutions. But Alas...
Thank you for such a wonderfully written article.

Let me give you an Injun perspective. There was a time when it was thought that the country wouldnt survive JLN's death. Then people said "India is Indira, Indira is India". Then people wondered if India could survive Rajiv's death but it did. If Pakistan can survive with someone like Mush at helm it can survive without him too.

Regards

Thank you Salman,

There is no other option for Mushy. The last institution of pakistan, the military is under attack. The jihadis are targeting the general who led the laal majid operation, now the airforce is under attack for using helicopter gun ships. The pak army men are deserting, they have surrendered to the jihadis and Mushy has criticised the poor souls, in waziristan the police and the local law enforcement agents have surrendered.

Mushy cannot keep quite, waiting for teh courts to to decide whether he is teh boss or not. This is the last stand by Mushy and the army. There is jihadis within, then there are nato forces on teh border waiting to bomb pakistan, there is global concern about the bomb.

Mushy is worried that the last call form Collin Powel may not come this time, and probabaly that is what teh US general who met him last week conveyed.

He had no choice, very same words he used when he took power last time.

At least there is one 'silly sheep' out there that bleats while the wolf is growling about.

There's no substitute for Musharaf nor one can ever be.
Politicians are 'corrupt'! Journalists are 'traitors'! Judiciary is 'overstepping its limits'! The 'bloody civilians' are 'terrorists'! Only Musharaf is 'upright, loyal to the country, works within bounds', and 'moderately enlightened'! Only he has the 'vision'; everyone else is 'dumb'. He is above and beyond law; he is above and beyond reason. Because he holds the reigns of unhindered power.

Pakistan does not deserve Mush and yet she has to endure him!
