``...it is only in exceptional circumstances that exceptional changes can occur.``

Well said, it`s not too idealistic to ask for the basic human rights (freedom, liberty and a

prosperous life ), which the country was in first place created. It`s time now for Pakistan`s

army general to have at least enough vision to create or start the process to achieve that

promise land which the great Qauid & Iqbal had dreamed of.

His start is at least positive that he didn`t impose martial law right away and he is gathering

top most legal experts (incld. rtd. Chief Jst Sajjad Ali Shah) to get out of this mess and

find a way out.

Your solution of two yrs interim govt. sounds good, which ex-PM Moeen Quereshi also

has suggested earlier. Bring on the right and able technocrats and let start building the

economy and world confidence in us. But let it be clear that the roots of democracy won?t

jeopardize with this process.

52 years are enough to learn from our mistakes and short sightdness, let the new era of

modern Pakistan begins, a true modern Islamic country with tolerance to each other and

respect for different opinions.
