Why do Pakis deny that there is something wrong in Pakistan? They are always searching for an evil person who caused them to do evil. What is wrong with admitting that ``honorable`` Paki men, acting in their quasi-official authority, sanctioned a cruel, savage, humiliating, and irreversible punishment on an innocent woman? What is wrong with admitting that the Lahore Court succumbed to influence and pressure from influential Paki people to overturn the lower court`s verdict against the perpetrators?

To turn this travesty of law into a stage for bringing back Benazir Bhutto or Nawaz Sharif is nothing short of opportunistic.

actually, there are some heros in this too:

1. mukhtaran mai - who used the money to start a school in the same village, and who continues to speak out against the outrage committed on her.

2. the village mullah - who brought the case to the open by speaking out during the friday prayers (and you know how much i hate mullahs - but lets give credit where credit is due).

Why Pakisatnis even consider Musharraf as the rightful Head of State.? Musharraf under constitution of 1973 is deserving of death sentence on charges of Treason. He should be considered a criminal from the day 12th October, 1999 when he and his cohorts deprived people of pakistan of their government. From that day these criminals and thugs in khakis have held pakistanis hostage under their occupation.

To expect him to apologise over the statement or other such issues is irrelevant at the very least.

Mr. salim: so i think you and i agree. actually, even mushy agrees that the remark was stupid (he said so) - only now he says he didnt say it!

The rapists = Panchayat, the influential family, the actual rapists, the police who didn`t interfere, the Lahore high court who ``discovered`` some profound evidence to overturn the case, and the army of self-serving do gooders who created a cricus out of the whole tragedy to further their own agenda.

Listen people,
I am totally against Mushy`s remarks. But shouldn`t we hang the rapists first then castrate the insensitive dictator?

Tahmed Sahib,
Of course. Mushy better be miserable for the miserably stupid remark he made. I mean even without MukhtaraN Mai`s particular case of absolute cruelty imposed by a figure of authroity, a Panchayat and validated by a higher court, Lahore Court, Mushy`s remark would have been considered extremely stupid and irrational. The rape of MukhtaraN Mai just makes the remark even more insensitive, considering that she was NOT raped by a sserial rapist or an accepted criminal, but rather by ``honorable`` men of her own village, acting as executors of justice. What a shame?

Mr salim: mushy seems to have done quite well for a stupid man, i think.

#95, Tahmed Saheb,
I have said repeatedly that Mushy is totally guilty of at least stupidity and more probably insensitivity, ignorance, and speaking while brains are AWOL.

T-Saheb
Did you get up from wrong side of bed? Salim`s satire was a satire... Let us leave it at that. He says that he is changing his old ways. Let us keep watching him. There is nothing to be gained by asking for explanation about his old comments.

Regards

Mr. Tahmed Sahib,
Yes we are altercating. :)

Mr. Temporal thinks that I am insensitive with sattire. I think that he is like an amublance-chasing lawyer in that he looks forward to innocent women getting raped in Pakistan just so that he can gloat over Mushy`s misery.

Mr. Temporal,
Did your cohorts provoke me with profanity or not? Just answer that first.

Temporal,
It may not be too farfetched to think that you actually look forward to women getting raped in Pakistan so that you can inject some real venom in your hate propaganda against Mushy. One could almost call you an opportunist. You know like the ambulance chaser, you just chase after cries of agony and abuse.
You are so obvious.
