hamidm #104 Maybe you should start dozing off during the day - a 10 minute nap after lunch works better than smelling the coffee in order to see the light (to mix metaphors).
Anyway, looking back at years of interaction on chowk, I am convinced you and I live in parallel universes. I live in the universe where Pakistan's lota is full. You live in the universe where Pakistan's lota is empty. So, I suggest we average it out and agree that Pakistan's lota is half full and half empty. Do we have a deal?

Massaddi Mian:
While at it, why don't you point out the wrong in the sentence and whether you got the message or not?
"You have condemned your mind to the life imprisonment to this par course."
Which part you really are struggling to understand, in the above sentence?
I could have said "your beautiful mind", which would be indeed more accurate.
You fight a rear-guard action to push your regressive thoughts. The worse is that you delude yourself into believing that you are gaining popularity. In your web-sites you derive solace by justifying today's problem of one society by comparing with the yesterday's problem in other societies. You change no one's mind with such comparisons, those who, like you, believe in it, do not need your web-site.
Many on the Chowk will assure you that if you or anyone can find written or verbal authority in Today's India regarding Sati, that book will be banned, and that person will be in jail.
Just please grow up. It is not about absolutism, and it is not about the finality of thought/knowledge or messegnger. It is about ability to reason on one end to ability to define truisms that lay foundation of belief system on the other. I know you understand what I just wrote. Especially, if you could take the trouble of using mathematician Godel to prove finality and absolute authority of Koran through your constipated argument of self-reasoning.
You know the hollowness of your belief system. You are unable to move beyond 7th century to Mills par course, because you have imprisoned your mind, which indeed is beautiful when it is not abusive. Since I started pointing out, atleast your abuse has indeed gone down. All I can say my words are having some positive effect on you.
I have hope for 2008. Happy new year, Massaddi Mian.

[.. even when you die you might have to pay a fee to find a spot in an overcrowded graveyard ..]
Well paying a price for a service is okay. I wanted to know how much exactly do these various political parties charge, but as usual you skirted the question. If Zardari's charges are 10% for all projects in Pakistan, then what would Alt-F's gangsters charge?
A few years ago the illustrious short-cut Aziz was trying to rob the steel mill. Now what percentage would that be? And how much do these current day robbers get by their privatizing of Pakistani infrastructure?
BTW, have you heard from your favorite Shaikh Rashid? is he still in hiding? he may eventually join Nawaz? do you know? I hope we don't get a long post from your clueless friend.

Because the truth always hurts. However, a friend of mine, a Yusufzai Pathan, once said about Shinwaris that the only reason why they wouldn't sell their mothers for gold is because no one would buy a woman that ugly. The funny thing was that he was an extremely well educated and cultured man, a complete liberal by Pakistani and most other standards; however, he had no use for Shinwaris....;

Hamid mian,
what is the going rate in Pakistan to sell away your party principles, policies and expectations to others?
You can answer in percentages, e.g. as you suggested Zardari would sell anything for a flat rate of 10%.
What percentage is needed to buy off the military? or the bureaucrats?
All those defense housing societies that were sold by the military, should also be put into the equation.
What percentage is needed to buy off the mafiaso dada of Karachi? What percentage is needed to buy off Nawaz Shariff? What percentage is needed to buy off any of those 50 or so political parties? Mullah diesel? etc, etc.
And who are the pay masters? In my estimate the biggest ones are the industrialists and the goons of NS or the PML-Q. I bet if extensive research is done and is validated the asking percentage by others would come out to be higher than what Zardari wanted as a flat rate.
Did you ever not wonder how the Pakistani rich elite get their financing through this bourgeois style robbing the national exchequer?
Pakistani military is getting $1B a year from the US, just to get it directed back to Boston.

Speaking of Mr 10% and selling support to highest bidder - that's a time honored paki tradition - from high level generals in islamabad to smelly tribal leaders in NWFP... in the immortal words of some CIA dude - "pakis can sell their mothers form a few bucks"...
Pakis have been renting themselves out for all sorts of mercenary work for a long time... so why blame Mr 10% Zardari?... he is just doing what come natural to pakis...
Even BB's return to pakiland was part of US plan... her latest "brave" fight against jihad was only because that's what US wants - not because BB was really personally against that... after all, she whole-heartedly sponsored kashmir jihad...
rentier mentality - it's a fine paki tradition...

#100 hamidm: no one asked "everyone in pakistan" if a bhutto has to lead ppp, so you are merely making an assertion, not describing reality.
the reality, best as i can tell, is as i described it below: for the very reasonable price of 10%, zardari will no doubt sell his support to the highest bidder. that is the reality my friend behind the assertion you made.
and you can be like me in a few years if you really put your mind to it!! here is how: get gym membership. while exercising your body on the eliptical, refresh your spirits by observing the serene view outside and inside, and exercise your mind by thinking profound, long-term thoughts. reflect, e.g., on the foolishness that causes Pakistani leaders (BB or Musharraf or anyone else, it doesnt matter) who all act as if they will live forever. BB names herself life chairman, when she could have stepped back and built up the party and let someone like Aitezaz come forward - she would still be alive, PPP would not be reduced to a 10% party, and she would actually leave a legacy rather than mere sentiments.

A sad day for Pakistan, let us hope the forces of intolerance, repression and ignorance not win because f her demise, many a twisted mind will be celebrating in the caves of tora bora.
I’m no fan of dynastic politicians, simply because I think it’s another form of corruption, it tends to crowd out more talented individuals but, in emerging democracies it’s to be expected because people tend to identify with personalities rather than policies.

Excerpts:
The Pakistan Test
Some presidential candidates show they can respond quickly to a foreign policy crisis. Some flunk or foul.
Saturday, December 29, 2007;
THE ASSASSINATION of Benazir Bhutto presented U.S. presidential candidates with a test: Could they respond cogently and clearly to a sudden foreign policy crisis? Within hours some revealing results were in. One candidate, Democrat John Edwards, passed with flying colors. Another, Republican Mike Huckabee, flunked abysmally. Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican John McCain were serious and substantive; Republicans Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani were thin. And Barack Obama -- the Democratic candidate who claims to represent a new, more elevated brand of politics -- committed an ugly foul.
Let's start with Mr. Edwards, who managed not only to get Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf on the phone Thursday but also to deliver a strong message. The candidate said he had encouraged Mr. Musharraf "to continue on the path to democratization [and] to allow international investigators to come in and determine what happened, what the facts were." Those are words the Pakistani president needs to hear from as many Americans as possible. ...

If she had seen the coming risk of her possible assassination she certainly would have mentioned in her 'will' the correct approach to elect her successor as she knew Bilawal is young and fATIMA AND bHUTTO jUNIOR ARE FROM ANOTHER PARTY.

No wonder now Zardari wants quick elections so he can be the next PM God forbid..Benazir made many mistakes during her life and therefore strayed away from ZA Bhutto's path, lost loyal sincere PPP workers(Uncles)but this.........?But who can guarantee the credibility of that 'wILL'????????

It's just that you see the whole scenario with a different filter and anti PPP policies, anti King's party people (including me) have different perspectives. On grounds of principles you cant beat IK and he certainly comes up at the level of our dear founder. You might disagree with him but the way MAJ fought his battle legally and within constitutional frame work on ideolgies which he believed, bring him very close to IK.
anyway right now it is not the time to debate upon IK's politics or exhumation of MAJ politics,but focus on murder of Benazir, future of Pakistan and substantial work for the unity of Pakistan. let's talk about Ik someother time.

Re: # 80
just one last comment, MA Jinnah opposed the Khilafat movement and refused to be part of it even though that was the popular thing to do. BB did the same when she opposed the extremist fringe element in our society, even though it was the unpopular thing. What has Imran Khan done or said? The exact opposite. Therefore, please do our beloved founder MAJ one big favor and do not compare him to this political opportunists who had the gall to blame Benazir for toeing the American line and condemning the extremists. MAJ was a principled man who never wavered, whereas the Khan has yet to show any principles. Thanks

......... and just because baitullah mehsud denied having anything to do with it we should believe him ? .....
If Benazir herself beileved him, and so did her party members and continue to do so till this day, I think you should too.
Look, Taliban are not terrorists. They are freedom fighters. Even Musharraf admitted that in the Afghan Jirga. The terrorists are the Jhangvi and the Tayyaba. Remember the french naval killings outside Sheration Karachi? That was Jhangvi. Tayyaba also does these kind of ops.
And don't even mention Lal Masjid people. Their fight was with the army and not with politicians, otherwise first one they would have killed would have been the much easier targets of Ijazul Haq or Ch. Shujaat who were directly involved in the deception of the final failed negotiations.
How I wish you would use your ample mind more often than just spouting your hatred of anything Islamic.

My good teacher at school, the late Mr Fernandez had this to say, think before you stink, I can offer you the same advise. You should ask this question to the brilliant malik99, i simply responded to his false sense of victimhood.
As for IK and his greatness, I repeat, the only beacon of light was BB who had the courage to speak the truth, stand against tyranny and offer the ultimate price by sacrificing her life. Cretins like Ik had the audacity to say she had written her death warrant by condemning these terrorists. Niether IK or NS have the courage to say and do what BB has offered by laying down her life. So get your facts straight and stop idolizing false, establishment conjured gods.

Re: # 76Why bring IK into it. Certainly he has nothing to do with it. He is "The MAN" with courage and guts to speak and fight for his ideolgy openly and right in front of the faces of his political opponents. He is the 'SHAHEEN of IQBAl'.
Your analysis of his failed politician and toyshoy boy stuff is clearly another shallow attempt of u and ur clan's to divert the focus from real issue and from real culprits. Sometimes labelling to 'alqaida', infuriating Pushtoon Bhai's and sometimes shifting to Punjab, stabbing solidarity of Pakistan.

Edwards is the best out of the whole lot of crooks and thugs but the US elite is never going to let him win, their choice is between Hillary and Giuliani with the needle pointing towards the latter thug.

Now I read that Nwaz Shreef is also in the hitlist!!
NS is against the US domination of Pak policies & never issued threats to Taliban or AQ openly. Then why they target him? Was by any chance ISI/Mush hand-in-glove with jihadists to Benazir's murder? Else why the GoP goes overboard with this tamasha on BB's murder?
Spine chilling if it's true!

repost:
The sum total of Hamid's wisdom is found in a couple of GWB's speeches after 9/11, other than this his other obsession is to bypass historical events of the past 13 centuries and lay the blame on the prophet and Islam without knowing either or their place in the current political economy. Just because his sense of humor appeals to some does not mean they should attribute that to "wisdom".

The worst of all, the dust over her had not even settled, and this monkey was flashing his ustra. Aren't their privacy laws on medical records being handed over in monkey's hand.
It was a disgusting sight for me. If someone had done that with my mother's , or sister's X-Ray, I would have strung him and let another Joker flash him.

Somebody pointed out high-level political murders in india and elsewhere... in india - most such events have been investigated and prosecuted in open courts of law... gandhi murder - nathuram godse tried and convicted... indira murder - culprits tried and convicted ... Rajive murder - a bunch of people tried and convicted - warrant still out on the mastermind living in Jafna...
The case was thoroughly investigated and presented in open courts of law - no conspiracy theories, no hanky panky, no machinations...
Now let's look at pakiland... Liaqat dude murdered - no prosecution, nothing... Bhutto's judicial murder - no remedies... Zia murdered - no nothing... now BB murdered - the whole situation is being very actively covered up, confusion all around, basic procedures violated, common sense assulted, it's a mad house out there... even in this day and age of ever-present media and scrutiny - pakis have done everything to burry the truth - right under world's glare...

Tahmed sahib:
"i was willing to give musharraf a chance to go through with the jan 8 elections with the hope that the new parliament would be able to get rid of him somewhere down the road ....... "
With Hamidm Mian, I share the above sentiments.
This Joker Cheema, flashing X-ray image, has been my turning point.
This joker can only flash with Musharraff's consent.
Musharraff, if has such an irrefutable proof, should have the decency to hold back to go public till the matam period is over. Instead of sending a flahser, during this period he could have shared it with FBI, Scotland Yard and obtained independent confirmations, and gone to more believable media, CNN and Al-Jazeera included.
He also knows if it is a fake implant.
Of all people, he must know that it took Washington Post to release the tape, a few days later, the last time he tried to pull stunt.
When someone who has a pure diamond of information, that Joker Cheema claimed, he must protect it till the storm passes over, and then take it out in the most appropriate way.
Musharraff sits on top an organization that can protect this diamond, just as well it can flash the fake.
This time, I hope the demand for international transparency comes and enforced. It has been done in Lebanon, for Hariri.
With $10 billion, Musharraff has bound himself to it, unless this killing has a support of equally powerful force, like Saudi's.
He did get away for a few days, as a flahser earlier, only to be put in place by Washington Post. This time ... only Allah (he better believe in its existence), can save him.
Pakistan is burning, Bush cannot do a thing. He and his advisors, and even Saudis would want to wait and see, if Musharraff puts out this fire.
He cannot sing "I did not start the fire....." , and win. He must be very stupid to play this murder card. And others who have played aced him, if he cannot stop the fire.
They killed two birds with one stone, in this scenario. Musharraff must be a foolish man to play this murder card, and hope he will get away with it.
Either way, he can sing the blues "I did not start the fire...", but certainly not in Islamabad.
Whoever, besides DeGaulle, has said "Nations have interests, people have friend." Musharraff can start to negotiate with his friend to rescue him and bring him to Crawford, Texas. It seems that either he has lost it, or he has no control over. Someone for sure screwed up his game, and game for democracy in Pakistan.

this assumes pakis are against the jihadi ideology that al queada espoues....heck, pakis were openly supporting the jihadi strategy before 9/11 and orange jumpsuits of gitmo sent their love into the closet..like kerry, pakis were for suicide bombings before they were against it..before bombs started going off in the land of the pure..while they were going off in srinigar, delhi or bombay, pakis were cool with it..
Poll: Bin Laden tops Musharraf in Pakistan
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf -- a key U.S. ally -- is less popular in his own country than al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, according to a poll of Pakistanis conducted last month by an anti-terrorism organization.
Additionally, nearly three-fourths of poll respondents said they oppose U.S. military action against al Qaeda and the Taliban inside Pakistan, according to results from the poll conducted by the independent polling organization Terror Free Tomorrow.
"We have conducted 23 polls all over the Muslim world, and this is the most disturbing one we have conducted," said Ken Ballen, the group's head. "Pakistan is the one Muslim nation that has nuclear weapons, and the people who want to use them against us -- like the Taliban and al Qaeda -- are more popular there than our allies like Musharraf."
The poll was conducted for Terror Free Tomorrow by D3 Systems of Vienna, Virginia., and the Pakistan Institute for Public Opinion. Interviews were conducted August 18-29, face-to-face with 1,044 Pakistanis across 105 urban and rural sampling points in all four provinces across the nation. Households were randomly selected.
According to poll results, bin Laden has a 46 percent approval rating. Musharraf's support is 38 percent. U.S. President George W. Bush's approval: 9 percent.
Meanwhile, al Qaeda has a 43 percent approval rate; the Taliban has a 38 percent approval rate; and local radical extremist groups had an approval rating between 37 percent to 49 percent.

The real enemy inside Pakistan, are those who have sold their soul to the highest bidder whether to acquire worldly material wealth or for the hereinafter wealth. There is no doubt that the bidders have been unscrupulous in their destruction of Pakistan. Of course, sooner or later this bidding will stop, and Pakistan will be free from the shackles of the unscrupulous ones.
At such time who will maintain our economic infrastructures such as waapda and defense housing societies? These self congratulating and indispensble ruling elite know for sure, a thing or two, regarding Pakistan's economic infrastructure on borrowed wealth and live to tell us about it. (Pun intended).
Pakistani ruling elite are the killers of mass capitalism.

Those who say that Pakistan “should not fight America’s fight” and that Al Qaeda doesn’t exist because no one knows where its headquarters is located should finally renew their knowledge about the organisation. It is not headquartered in Sudan, as one retired military officer said on TV, but in Pakistan with an army at its beck and call in our Tribal Areas that is a force to reckon with. Before dubbing it an American war our analysts should ponder the chaos that will ensue in an internationally isolated Pakistan with Al Qaeda lodged in its guts. What may have begun as America’s war is now Pakistan’s war.

bubba,
.... why are you trying to disagree with me when i am bending over backwards to agree with you ! ....... that's exactly what i am saying - we should go after the islamists of all shades inside pakistan and outside ....... if you remember, i had even proposed dropping a couple of twenty thousand pound bombs on lal masjid and was against releasing any of those suicider-breeding women ......
.... what, do you want me to do ? ..... beat urstruly upside the head? ... i have even tried to do that, but he refuses to show up ...... if you have a plan let me know - i will send you a check for the cause ..... but don't expect me to break a sweat or a nail - that's what differentiates the secularoon from the muslimoon ....they love death more than we love life ........ jeez !

What I really find pathetic is the way the party of feudal lords or East India company kay najaiz bachchay are looking at a 14 year old as the heir apparent of their great leader. These pathetic excuse for human excrement could not find an adult to lead them and safeguard their interest. The propaganda machinery and media as it is under the gun of fouj and funded by East India company ki najaiz aulaad, is busy cultivating another personality cult around yet another "shaheed" whose great democratic party is clueless as to what to do just in case their graet leader take a ride to netherworld. This old order is about to be decimated. No doubt.

Bubba, I'd take what Najm sethi has to say with a grain of salt. Currently white people and their brown chmmchas are working overtime to divert focus from their minion, the dictator, and towards the "real enemy". This is diversion part; but I do agree with Najm that Al-Qaeda philosophy that ghee seedhi unglion say nahin niklay ga has penetrated pakistan at the grass root level.

hamidullah, [.. but if you can get together a lashkar to invade saudi arabia i will consider joining it !] hopefully it would be the islamic nations troops to get rid of this menacing regime. but until such time we should get rid of their cronies inside pakistan.
here is what NY Times has written
Al Qaeda in Pakistan now comprises not just foreigners or even tribesmen from border regions, but also Pakistan’s own Punjabis and Urdu speakers and members of banned sectarian and Sunni extremists groups, Najam Sethi, editor of The Daily Times, wrote in a front-page analysis. “Al Qaeda is now as much a Pakistani phenomenon as it is an Arab or foreign element,” he wrote.

....... look, the saudis are directly and indirectly responsible for all this chaos and mayhem .... they have directly funded madrassas, terrorists and others ...... and indirectly they have kept the dream of an 'islamic' state alive with their medieval oil-funded 'model state'.......
......... but, i don't think they killed bb ...... if you think they did, it is your perogative ...... i think the sons of the moon god did it ...... but if you can get together a lashkar to invade saudi arabia i will consider joining it !

Hamidullah #47 - "so you are suggesting that cnn, cbs, nbc, msnbc and cnbc did it to improve their ratings ?"
perhaps. But thats not my major point. My major point is that if Bush can take you for a ride on WMDs in Iraq, WMDs in Iran, and BB's killing, he probably took you for a ride on 9/11 too.
There is a saying in West Texas that goes "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me" Its 6 years too late, but its never too late to admit that you were fooled thrice (!), by the same man. And that this war on terrorism is the biggest fraud since Pamela Anderson peddled her silicon dripping breasts as the "real thing".
This WoT was concocte to push neo-con agenda, just like every incident since then (like BB's killing) has been twisted to somehow fit the same agenda.
So when are you going to sit down to have an honest conversation with yourself? I suggest you do it today. Its weekend and the weather sucks. Besides, what best way to burry a shameful past then to do it at the end of a year - just so you can start a new year with a new YOU!

what is important is - will law and order be restored in Pakistan (starting with restoration of the judiciary and replacement of musharraf's goons with a caretaker governmnet not beholden to musharraf) or not.

#44 - ".... are you suggesting that george bush did it !?"
No, hamidullah. I am not suggesting that. What I am suggesting is that al-qaeda killing BB fits the storyline Bush has been feeding the world. Imagine how unromantic and boring it would be if Chaudhuri brothers were implicated in her murder? Americans can understand eternal threat posed by al-qaeda, but Chudhuri brothers? Who the hell are they?!!
Remember, this is George Bush's era. Every dot somehow needs to connect to al-qaeda and war on terrorism. If it doesnt, then it is too boring to be covered on american media. American media is all about ratings. And coverage of a bombing by al-qaeda conjures far higher ratings than a bombing by Chaudhuri brothers.
I suggest, you close the doors, pull the drapes (urstruly might just be lurking in the neighborhood with his telescope), and think through what I have said in the last 2 posts. Look in the mirror and talk to yourself. If you need a confessional, I can arrange for that too.

anyway, my second choice would be pervaiz elahi ... why? ... because he looks like a crook .... i know that sounds kind of silly, but it is as good a reason as any .... i just don't like the guy

thanks hamidullah! as the Bush presidency is wrapping up, you too are beginning to sober up from the intoxicating kool aid he was having you drink.
Now that we have you admit that Bhutto's murder was not a conspiracy, we need to right another wrong. Remember 9/11? Bush told us that al-qaeda did it. And he said so within a few minutes of it happening. And he continued to say so despite the mounting evidence to the contrary.
Its the same Bush who told you yesterday that BB was killed by al-qaeda. Not that I want to divert this thread into a tangent, but I would like you to think the following in the privacy of your home when urstruly is not looking:
1. Bush lied regarding WMD in iraq
2. Bush lied regarding nuclear weapons in Iran
3. Bush lied regarding BB's murder in pakistan
Could you please at least consider that Bush may have lied about who attacked on 9/11? Just think on your own. You dont have to tell us on chowk, because urstruly, bulleya, zeemax and others may just hurt your pride. And when all else is taken away from a man, his pride and his balls is all he's got.
just think about it on your own. thanks.

[.. however, based on yet another informal survey, i have come to the conclusion that 20-30% of the pakistani public still support musharraf ..], who are supposedly considered as the rich or aspiring to be rich Pakistanis. You must be knowing Hussain Huqqani, don't you?
How would you like it, if suddenly this world turns around and we make the masses of Pakistanis true capitalists, by kicking out the carpetbaggers, thiefs thugs of the defense housing societywallas? But, again, we must just remain wondering who will be the chief of waapda, or the defense housing society development corporation!

hamidm "and nobody will ever know ..... in a couple of days the folks on chowk will also stop taking about it .... except zeemaxullah who is still trying to pin ali's murder and 9/11 on the jews ..... "
it is quite surprising to see people side swiping the mounting evidence that government is lying about what killed BB. the motive in doing so for people like hamidm is quite simple - raising noise, shouting taunts, and conjuring up "elvis is alive" theories discredits any attempt to find the real killers. and people like hamidm clearly fear that real killers may not turn out to be who they wanted them to be.
if hamidm's hue and cry that "she is dead, killed by beardos and so lets move on to killing beardos" gets traction in civilized country that hamidm resides in, then he should hold no grudge when his daughters are killed by a hick for being brownies of same complexion as mozlems. Since we all know that mozlems are genetically prone to being suicide bombers, that hick can be excused for committing this crime. Perhaps he could be pardoned by judge since a friend of his cousin's wife died on 9/11 which had traumatized him. And hamidm would understand that.

rf786 "She courted death where others chose to either hide or befriend the murdering gangs of Lal Masjid."
rf, i have read your other interacts where you are suspecting Imran Khan of having a hand in killing BB. Unlike Zeemax, Urstruly, SR, Ijaz Gul etc, you have yet to provide any evidence to backup your assertion. However, I notice that no one has bothered to ask you to provide any evidence either. Which i think is a good thing, as it saves you from further embarassing yourself.
Now you are suggesting that that the Lal masjid folks were "murdering gangs". Again, it would be wiser to refrain from asking you the number of murders they committed. I know of the few instances where they kidnapped and released people. But I never heard of any instance where they actually killed anyone, until they were assaulted.
And no, suggesting that "these type of people" are the suicide bombers is not enough. This kind of blanket statement implicates you as a terrorist too in the eyes of americans, since you are from Pakistan.
Anyways, happy venting!

our state has become a failed state
your state, MICHIGAN, is a failed state because of the downturn in the auto industry.

Re: # 31
Becuase of the continued occupation of our country by forces of oppression for so so long our state has become a failed state where we as a nation have failed to establish rule of law, social justice, equity and equality. We as a people always thought that "order" was the "law" but now this misconception is dying its own natural death. As a result whenever we face a crisis every little prejudice of ours rear its ugly head. The forces of obscurantism, lawlessness, and corruption exploit them to their advantage to the fullest, as it is evident in the post # 32.
There is no two opinions that as a nation we are as fractured as every nation becomes before it is destroyed by either internal strife or overcome by a foreign occupation. That point in history has arrived in our national life.
But situation is not that hopeless; beside all our differences, prejudices, and mutual hatered the nation at large is fast reaching a consensus that it is time that napak fouj and the vicious dictator have to be eliminated if we continue to live as a nation. The consensus is that Napak fouj and dictator are the single most reason of our destruction and misery. Please keep is mind that no consensus in history is ever 100%. So there are groups and people who have vested ineterst in keeping this system of oppression, corruption, docility, and submission alive and well. They will fight tooth to nail before they are ultimately decimated for good along with napak fouj.

Re: # 30
Urstruly,
I can agree with you on the old system coming to its natural end but have my doubts about the people of Pakistan finally come to their senses and rebelling against the system. If the people is defined by a bunch of tribal folks driven by their traditions more than the passion of Pakistan as was clearly evident by burning of Pakistani flag in Swat, then I am afraid your people are in a serious minority that is going to be exterminated one way or the other.
And, yes I would like to believe that I am on the side of the people, only difference is that people are now being defined by regions rather than the state.

Re: # 23
and I thank you for your post; it provides the necessary evidence to support the crux of my argument. The argument was that the fabric of our society has been permanantly ruptured in such a way that heroes and victims of one faction have become the criminals of the other faction. The children of one faction are the terrorists for the other group and bear the penalty of death. The fine line that separates the right from wrong has been blurred or erased completely. Country is simmering with the prospect of an all out civil war which is about to engulf us all. As I said in my earlier post, it always happen when old order is about to be decimated. It is an undenieable fact that people of Pakistan have finally rebelled against the old order of corruption, cowardice, oppression and docility which has been oppressing us since the time East India Company conquered us. I advise you to be on people's side - because they always win.

Addendum to my earlier post:
I agree completely with SR that she was assasinated by whoever fired the shots and exploded the bomb. That is what was the ultimate cause of her death; the direct cause (bullet, shrapnel or severe trauma) is irrelevant. Now, who was behind the actual attack is another question that I have no answer for.

Re: # 22
zeemaxullah,
..... i had said pretty much the same thing yesterday ... as a matter of fact, i had even suggested that the thieves of gujrat could have been behind it ......the government was quick to fix the blame because its minions are incompetent and stupid and they think they can cover up their incompetence by creating confusion - unfortunately, since the people happen to be sheep, it works most of the time .........
........ in any case, if there was a suicide bomber involved it was one of the numerous jihadi groups ........ it didn't even have to be a major group - it could be one or two of the basta*ds who survived lal masjid .... the root cause is the ideology that drives your friends .......
......... now stop spinning all these yarns and just sit back and enjoy your significant victory against the kanjaroon and munafiqoon ........

Re: #20 SR,
It's no use trying to inject a note of rationality or common sense or facts into the issue. There is a human fallacy (some one with more training in logic than I can tell you the exact name of it) that holds that big events MUST have big causes. So Benazir's death could not have been caused by a ten minute delay in taking her to the hospital or to the absence of a trained neurosurgeon on staff. It must have been the work of the four 'renegade' ISI commandos working for the Chaudhury's who got the wink and the nod from PM to go ahead and carry out the attack.
As Shakespeare said, "there are no comets seen when beggars die." Just like Kennedy could not have been killed by a lone nut case, Benazir's death was the cause of a conspiracy at the highest level. Oh yes, don't forget the subliminal messages being beamed to her via US NSA satellites to stick her head out of the bullet-proof vehicle when it passed THAT particular group of young men.
There, we all feel better now; lets all go out and indulge in some robbery, looting and random arson and destruction.
Although, I do wonder how it happens that there was a suicide attacker in that group of young men.... Just on the off chance...?
However, it should be remembered that there were four attackers waiting for Archduke Francis Ferdinand in Sarajevo, one for each possible route he could take IIRC, but he was killed by only one man.

Re: # 14
Urstruly,
Many thanks for this post, it helps in understanding the general malaise in our society where death warrants are issued simply because someone differs the religious clergy. Another idiot who is propounding this vile perception is Mr IK himself and the worst part is that society in general does not question this criminal mentality simply because it offends their religious sensibilities.
Some clarification required regarding the disinformation campaign:
1. Lal Masjid: BB had the courage to tell the truth even though it meant violent attacks on her character and person. She courted death where others chose to either hide or befriend the murdering gangs of Lal Masjid. For that in your opinion she deserved to die, I am not surprised at least you have the honesty to admit your opinions whereas we have others pretending to be offended by her demise.
2. She promised that
