Amazing! Adam Khan strikes the jackpot once again. Hope you give us the third part too!

Maulvi and me A heartful thanks to inquirer for supporting me on the maulvi front.

However, through this article i do not show my contempt for Islam, or any religion but to the clergy who have barred people to understand their religion individually and uniquely and follow it according to their own intepretations with the help of their intellect, granted by God himself.

Jasmines in Colorado (part 2 of 3) i absolutely loved the first part but the second disappointed me a bit. Basically, because half of it was covered with two people singing in high mountains. With the added disadvantage that lesser mortals like me could not understand the song in writing at all. I totally support the motion that this second part can be a much bigger success if visually produced with a good sound recording.

However i wholeheartedly disagree with Priyanka`s choice in the lead. Mr. Roshan will be a good pick but shahrukh would be better( considering he can always be a box office hit even if he plays a pervert who keeps staring at legs,breasts, bellybuttons and absolutely anything that can be in anyway sexually arousing!)

Lament of a Disillusioned Citizen { Nawaz was so drunk with power that he tried to kill the military general.}

And yahya was so drunk literally and with power that he gladly sacrificed more than half the country. Take your pick!! And if you are going to say that that not every dictator is a Yahya than please first consider that not every democratic leader is a nawaz or benazir. There may be better people in the waiting if only the military will just stick to its own job. You talk about forgetting too soon. Rather its you who has clearly forgotten all the bullshit we have inherited from the military dictators. A booming economy from Ayub all the wealth of which was carelessly lost in a baseless war. I have already talked about Yahya. And Zia with his floods of money due to dear old Afghanistan whom he protected more than he ever cared about the Pakistanis for whom he left legacies like the Hudood Ordinance. Musharraf will be no better with his aid from america and abuses from Pakistan. What has he given us anyway except twisted and unrepresentative statistics which are supposed to be a great economy. A worthless fountain on the sea. Soaring sugar prices and of many other commodities. A big fat lie about the uniform. Increasing terrorist activity. Increasing redundany of public services like electricity, water and transport. If only you would remember much more and stop criticising who remember much more than you do. i do not say that the democracy we have experienced was exemplary but neither was the dictatorship. And adding to the analysis that we have had much more of the latter the only conclusion a sane person can make is give democracy a chance!

Lament of a Disillusioned Citizen { They forget the zamindars and the waderas and the jahil high school pass doodh walas who were sitting in the assemblies. they forget the idiots who were our finance ministers. }

Sir, if only someone will give us the chance to forget them. Who do you think are sitting in the assemblies under the great Musharraf ? Enlightened Moderates and righteous messiahs. It is the same bullshit all over again with a different package and with a much longer indefinite term in power. Mr. hasanmahmood the only reason why i support democracy is because atleast there is hope for improvement. Atleast there is hope that one day good leaders will come to power. If we adhere to the constitution atlest there is hope that people will stop raping it. Atleast there will be hope that someday its true spirit will be followed. With democracy and a constitution atleast we have hope. Withe military dictators we do not even have that. Because these generals will gladly piss on the whole country and will get to the assemblies anybody who is ready to lick their boots without giving a damn for the whole country. The situation of the people right now is evidence!!!! And please stop considering a graduate degree to be a mark of perfect knowledge. Many great politicians in the past have been just high school graduates and not even that for that matter. There is a reason why no superpower has ever been ruled by rocket scientists and there is a reason why plato`s philosopher king never got crowned.

Lament of a Disillusioned Citizen Mr. Salim Chauhan, i really do hope that one day you would overcome your insecurities as a Mohajir who still feels he does not belong to the country he was born in( which of course i assume). If only we could move on from our own social problems and face other problems (like these indians on these forums blatantly abusing pakistan while we fight). I know that the mohajir`s trust has been badly hurt by the punjabis which has been a big mistake but we all have to rise above this mistrust in order to survive.

Before i go, i will just add: hats off to akpower for showing the mirror to these indians who would bow before the racist gandhi but die before accepting that what jinnah did was a direct consequence of the stubborn congress who left no choice for jinnah, a die-hard nationalist to give up his idealism and look at the reality, which meant to accept atleast the ``moth-eaten Pakistan`` than rather burn in Gujarat.

Maulvi and me Maybe khattak sahib you really have not met some of the die hard maulvis abundant in our society. i do not want this article to be seen as a generalization or as representing all maulvis but really some of them do go over the top

My Calloused Bare Feet… thanks alot may

Lament of a Disillusioned Citizen Mr. Salim Chauhan, why don`t you understand that if a person supports democracy that does not mean in anyway that he necessarily supports any of the existing parties. I am not trying to prove that NS and BB were saints or something, i am saying that the only way democracy can be improved is by democracy only. Is it not true that Musharraf will readily team up with any of the two if they agree to his terms. Is it also not true that Musharraf is working with the same corrupt politicians who solidified Nawaz`s rule. Why is it that only Nawaz gets the blame. Each and every supporter of mushy is the same who vehemently supported Nawaz`s curroption. Plus, how much is Musharraf doing about the Biharis??? nothing as far as i know. Probably even you would be abusing him tommorow if MQM goes out of the govt. and riots become abundant in khi once again because mushy is not going to give a rat`s ass for the karachites as long as he is in power.

With these comments i should make clear that i in no way support khi bashing, it is only that throught the true establishment of democracy can we achieve the aims u outlined. and not by partial democracy which only runs for a few years and then a general comes in again donning a saviour`s suit. democracy should be given a chance!!!!!

Lament of a Disillusioned Citizen To sanjay : I totally agree with you that actions are needed. But sir, actions do not come out of the blue, they are always inspired by words. And if the Pakistani people had not cared about their govt. they would not have stood up for their rights along with Bhutto, nor had they chanted slogans against Ayub and no matter what the reason for Ayub`s downfall there is no denying that people did come out against him. It is just that the population is frustrated after getting no rewards for their work, but pessimism can be ended. This country is ours and it is our duty to run it. It is high time that we realize our duties! Nobody could have said a month ago that nepal was ready for such a large-scale opposition. You never know what`s going to happen and it is just some pessimistic seers who never will agree even if the opposition faces them in the face. Afterall it was the pakistan public who broke the gates of the diplomatic enclave a few months back.

Lament of a Disillusioned Citizen Mr. Saleem Chauhan you have certainly enlightened us with many problems that face us before elections, democracy and civilian rule but may I ask you who exactly will fulfill these demands. Mr. President, maybe, who has nothing more important to do than to hang on to power ( or his uniform). Or maybe you are waiting for another martial law and another general who will promise us much and give us nothing after another 11 year stint. Ah! Yes, now I understand, maybe you are waiting for the messiah.

Sir, please first read the article which clearly states that democracy evolves through mistakes and you cannot abolish democracy for the reason that one or two leaders were a failure. Sir, USA did not put aside democracy after the Watergate scandal. Although I might disagree with some of your points I do agree with them on the whole and the only way they will ever be implemented is through an established democracy and civilian rule.

As far the Punjabi part goes you seem to be a much more biased man against Punjab than the author is against any region. How do you propose to control an even further divided Pakistan while already the provinces are being kept together through the barrel of the military’s gun? I feel that the author has spoken a much needed truth and rather than complaining about the minor mistakes in the govt. has identified the responsible source, the President
