Satish,
I have some more:

100. Pakistan becomes a true secular democracy with just sharing of resources among its 6 provinces :) After Punjab is split into three.
101. India and Pakistan agree on current LoC as International Border. It`s been that for over 56 years.
102. Pakistan restructures its military to a normal number commensurate with its population.
103. Islam is raised to the standard of a personal faith and not some international circus for the looney - UBL, Hajj, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia :(
104. The bulk of resources are spent on public welfare - education, health, training, improving sanitary condition
105. Urdu is abolished as the national and official language and replaced with regional languages in provinces and English as the official language
106. India and Pakistan relinquish nuclear weapons and force the mature club to do the same.
107. Hudood laws and anti-blasphemy laws are repealed in Pakistan.
108. All political parties, using religion as a base or even in their names, are banned.

Nikki 7777 #5,
How are you doing buddy. This is your old friend barachota, kkkandk, salim - I have undergone several name changes out of necessity.
You said: {``7 and 14.Screw the paks``}
Nikki, you will soon get your chance. Atif and Succubus have come up with a plan to establish Lahore as an exotic mecca halfway between Amsterdam and Bangkok. They are doing this to capture as many strong Indian rupees as possible as a result of the world`s fourth largest economy being next door. See you in Lahore, buddy. Good to hear from you.

MY wish list,
1) Pakistan spends 10 percent of its budget on establishing Schools, Colleges and training for School Teachers.
2) Hudood Ordinance is repealed and thousands of women imprisoned with their children languishing in Pakistani jails given general amnesty.
3) New laws are drafted where strict punishment is metted out for men who physically abuse their wives and children.
4) A common Law code is drafted in the Indian Penal system for all religions especially Muslims, and special alimony and child support laws are enforced amongst the Muslim community where women are left especially destitute after they are divorced by their husbands.
5) It is made unlawful in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh that a man can verbally divorce his wife and new laws require divorce to only be granted in court where matters of child custody and alimony are decided.

Satish,

I loved number 21 on your list - ``Every politican has a lie detector fixed while he speaks in Parliament``. Can you imagine that? It would be hilarious :-)
