NRO -- what an arrogantly stupid name de-criminalize the criminals -- an ORDER issued by a corrupt dictator -- to the corrupts of Pakistan -- to decriminalize their corruption in the name of national reconciliation!

Now can an illegitimate dictator and his illegally reconstituted Court order people to reconciliate?

Only a supreme parliament can do that -- through an across the board -- legistlative PARDON -- passed by a majority vote -- that includes the offending politicians -- AND the offensive 'president' as well.

The NRO definitely tops the list in our National Hall of Shame. In the past, punjabi/urdu, proverb "Sikha Shahi" has been used as a metaphor for the anarchy, lawlessness, and incompetency but from now on a new phrase is going to top the long held record by sikhs; from now on the new phrase is "Parvez Shahi" - the ultimate refernce to everything that is wrong in pakistan today.

inna lillah-e-wa-inna elaihe rajeoon.
