[…t, sometimes I wonder about you!!! Musharraf a usurper? And Benazir, Zia and his child Nawaz self-less givers and motivated by the beautiful future of their country? What magical planet you live on?…]

you are not alone…everyday…at least once I wonder too:).

First godot-ji.…why even mention the names of those unmentionable plunderers and rapists?…did I write or hint about them in my post?…

…don’t you see?...the puppet and the puppeteers (the general or the captain here and the corps commanders) are making decisions over there on and for EVERY single Pakistani?…who gave them that right?

Saima, this is just a wonderful article. Or it appears wonderful to me perhaps because I agree with everything you said. I see where you are coming from because I am coming from the same angle. Thanks for another great article!

Excellent. I really enjoyed reading this. Thank you.
``As for failure? There is no such thing where there is commitment.`` Golden words to live by.

saima:

when the captain
is but an usurper
and an impostor to boot
who owns neither the uniform
nor the medals
who has neither body nor soul
when the captain
is but a puppet
what do you do then
what would you do then?

lve,
