Democracy is the Best Revenge?

Re: # 8
"you can encourage people to curl up, lie down in foetal position, and pray to god to save them."

JAYP: BUT God does not help those people who do not help themselvs.

"Pakistan does not need a fractured democracy – what is needed is justice and fairness. Rest will follow. Democracy is an outcome of a "just" society. Until then, we are only chasing an elusive dream."

"Just" socities are most certainly not formed from embracing a warped quasi-theocracy as unfortunately Pakistan has. Every theocracy or quasi-theocracy that is out there today (e.g. Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Sudan) has had notorious issues with corruption.

Ehtisham...

Democracy is best available way of governance, if people are prepared for it....

US carrier moved to Arabian Sea


WASHINGTON, July 8: A US aircraft carrier has moved to the Arabian Sea to support military operations in Afghanistan, leaving the Gulf without a carrier, US defence officials said on Tuesday.

The shift by the USS Abraham Lincoln over the weekend comes amid stepped up insurgent violence in Afghanistan where US combat casualties have been on the rise even as they have dropped sharply in Iraq.

Ehtisham,

I agree with you mostly.

"Democracy is the best revenge" says the son of a party leader that never held internal elections...says the son that automatically became the next "chairman" of the party.

Some democracy.

The ruling class needs to be shown the door.

In the great islamic tradition, every thing is the tribal attiotude of revenge and honour. No doubt in a country where honor killing is legal, it is understandable that democracy is a matter of revenge against mushy, against nawaz and others on a personal level.

In an islamic country, there can be no concept of democracy, it has to have a prefix, basic democracy, enlightened democracy ..../ A klalifayat is what the book talks about.

In a country where everything has to eb per sharia, the notion of people ruling is absurd. The govt has to be same as what the book says, or that existed at the time when the laws given in the book made sense.

It is good to see that in FATA, the real pakistan is emerging, the DVd shops are burnt, music stores are burnt...thousands are watching public beheading..as in the times of teh book.

I feel that the only guys who would take "revenge" are the mullahs now.
