I have to agree with hamidm

leave the Americans out of it.

BUT a call for the release of Benazir,

Muneer A Malik, Aitzaz Ahsan and others

can be a good start for CHOWKIES.

My dear fellow:

In order for rule of law to survive in Pakistan, we must have a resurrection of the supreme court the way it was prior to this latest coup, whosoever the judges.
The current leadership, military or civil, is tarnished. It is up to the people to force change. I feel it is pessimistic to think that the current political players are inevitable. There are other leaders who can lead us out from the valley of shadows: Many second line leaders in the current set up, especially in the PPP, are dissenting from their frontline leadership. Aitazaz Ahsen is one such example. It is up to you and I, the Johnnys on the street to support such changes or bring them about. Remember, out of the chaotic times of the movement against Ayub Khan was born arguably the best political mind of our country, Z A Bhutto.
I appreciate your comments.

irfan,

........ like all pakistanis, you are a bloody fool! .... and i mean that kindly ...

.... you have written off bb, the popes of the mma, pml-q, mqm .... so who else is left?... pml-n? .... or the party of one, imran khan?

.... so what do you suggest johnny pakistani should do? .... elect the droopy eyed chief justice and his band of third-rate lawyers ?......... okay, but how? ..... do they have a political party? .... who is their leader? .... what do they want?..... are they capable of forming a government?

......... let me repeat it again - you are an idiot! ...... and i say it so that you will take notice and do something about it before idiocy kills you ... by the way, did you go out and protest today, or did you stay at home to watch the cricket match like everyone else?

... and one masadi on this forum is enough ........ if you didn't get breakfast this morning, blame it on your wife, your cook or your mother - the americans had nothing to do with it ........
