    cOALITION OF UNWILLING,
    have some considerable arguments,
    be sure would acceptable ,never not unacceptable,

    A great conspiracy was hatched,
    against Z.A.Butto,
    on the islam cleric parties were in the feild,
    start movement,named NIZAM-MUSTAFA,

    many hypocrits contacted with power,
    who dislike to see pakistan as nuclear power,
    they were supported by torential rain of dollars,
    and drenching rain of weapons,
    as provided in the war aginst Russia,
    when he occupied Afghanistan.

    Butto was arrested and prosecuted hanged innocentely,
    because there was no witness in the case,
    no independent reliable circumstancial evidence,
    no crime weapon was recovered from accused,
    there was also no confessional statement on the record.

    But he was hanged
    and a door of state history was close
    father of Benazir Butto, founder and chairman of
    newly formed party pakistan People Party.

    Choudher Zahoor Ullahi,was a active and rich political leader,
    who opposed butto when he was in jail and facing trial.
    he supported zia and influenced rejecting the mercy pitition of mr butto.

    In the revenge ,
    ppp prepared some activist,
    choudhery was attacked
    when he with a justice of the hahore coming out the court's premisise,
    father of choudhery shujayat hussain died at the sopt.

    When i consider those days,
    i see,
    they were united ,
    under the leadership of general zia,
    there were unique relations
    between zia and nawaz sharife,
    in the very short time ,there was air crashe
    and zia ul haq removed the forever.

    Keeping whole circumstances in minde
    we are complled to think ,
    really think,past history of the country'spolitical scaniro,
    is great harbinger of unwilling...........coalition of the unwilling

    Zardari created the coalition with Sharif to consolidate his position within his party and with smaller parties
    in other provinces. His character of wheeler-Dealer remains intact and he successfully used that with the doctors in New York to declare him mentally incapacitated? In order to escape court procedures in London
    and Zurich. Having so far freed himself from Sharif on issue of restoration of Judges and only allowing the
    ones who have given in writing that they will abide by his rules, to retake the oath in their respective courts.
    One question remains can he wiggle himself out of the agreements he has signed with US administration
    through his closest advisors. The troika of Durrani-Haqqani-Malik.

    God appoints leaders on nations according to the masses that they rule. Pakistan got what it deserves. Zardari, a corrupt, incomptent person with a very tainted past will become the predident of a country that is by nature a ungrateful and very short sighted country. Pakistanis as a whole have become cowards and spineless and would not dare to stand up against so called "political leaders". The future of the country is hopeless and if we just leave them alone for a little longer they will destroy themselves and then we can hope for a new generation of leaders who may actually try to make the country somewhat livable. Untill then let them kill and destroy each other

      Its foolish to blame God for the incompetence and corruption of the governments of men... and plainly wrong to claim that all nations get the governments "they" deserve.... this is a dishonest device to dismiss the injustices particular governments do, and the innocent individuals they victimize. Does topgungsm believe that the Jews of Poland and Czechoslovakia were responsible for their own murders by the governments imposed on their countries? Are the Chechens responsible for the oppression of their people by Moscow? Were the Armenians to blame for the actions of the Turks who killed them? MOST people in the world have no real power over the governments that rule them. MOST individuals on the planet are fully occupied with the struggle to survive and raise their families, and are in no position to defy or to demand anything from whatever thugocracy may be in charge of their national government at a given time.

    Once again USA is imposing its neo-con agenda on pakistan. only change is Zardari instead of Musharraf. Zardari has given USA green light for US Army operations in frontier province and also Gawadar port in Balochistan. USA has no interest in supremacy of law and justice in Pakistan. They backed Musharraf in deposing our chief justice, the most righteous and courageous man heading our judiciary so far. Only because he's unyielding and uncompromising. This Chief Justice is responsible for fighting for the rights abused and impoverished of Pakistan. He freed several women and children from the jails of Zardari backed land owners of sindh.

      Its funny that you call the Chief Justice a courageous man. This is the same Chief Justice that took an oath when Musharraf came into power in '99. He didnt seem to mind the ousting of democracy at that time. Has he "seen the light"?

      How does your comment relate to the article? I am afraid this sort of news actually gets reported in India. In Pakistan extremists will probably bomb the news agency out of existence! Furthermore, as far as IT (international terrorism) is considered, pick-up any legitimate newspaper around the world, many references to Pakistan will be found.

    A complicated and convoluted matter Pakistan's political future. However, I have no doubt that the US will continue their billions of dollars contribution to back Zardari as long as he continues to give lip service that the Taliban is the bad guy, at the same time generously lining his own pockets.

      The money that Pakistan has received is not going to Zardari or any gov't official, it is reimbursement for costs associated with patrolling the Afghan border and shifting hundreds of thousands of soldiers to the western border for the sake of the United States. The loss of life on the part of the Pakistani side, both military and civilian, is also a gift from the United States because of the US' sudden realization that the Taliban are evil, while they had no problem supporting them throughout the 80's and 90's directly and through Pakistan and insisting Pakistan take in millions of Afghan refugees to support the anti-Soviet cause.
      In response to the comment on democracy and families running political parties, I would like to point out that MQM's leaders are not children of former politicians etc, and MQM is the only major political party of Pakistan to emerge from the urban middle class as opposed to a feudal class.

        fk399, as smhaider points out political parties in Pakistan are tribal family based affairs, but you knew that. You are obviously aware that poiitics in Pakistan, being a tribal family thing, is 'business as usual' which generally implies the bottom line,and when that takes precedence over citizen rights, well, its a business and that is why business' exist_to make a profit. Your particular political party, the MQM, may very well be a non-tribal family based party, but I see no reason to believe that would change the function of Pakistan's political structure, that is, "we're in it for the profit!".

    I have no doubt in my mind that the present current political situationed head by politician will further deteriorate the stability of Pakistan and its economy to which President Mushraf raised to the level where it never reached in 60 years' history of Pakistan. Out of total registerred voters only 30 to 40% voters cast their votes to the parties and leaders who were already tested. By the way the the two main parties i.e. PPP and PML(N) who are claiming for getting heavy mandate is totally false and trying to make the general public fool since these 30 to 40% cast votes were not these two parties, Tthis percentage of cast votes is shared by many other parties in number 40-60 (smaller and larger). Also there was riggin on official and unofficial level by the influencial people based on the association of tribes, Bradri (kinship) as well as fuedal. So, these two major parties cannot claim for having support and mandate of 6% to 10% of cast votes. There is no mention of remaining percentage of registerred voters who did not cast their votes as well as who are not even registered. How it could be a true representative government? How it could be a true democracy? In fact, the democracy and government is run in Pakistan by family parties. Like PPP belongs to Bhutto family and kins, PML (N) headed by Nawaz, Shebaz and his sons, JUI(F) previously headed by Mufti Mehmoud and after his death his son Maulana Fazlur Rehman, ANP previously was headed by Khan Abdul Ghafar Khan, then his son Khan Abdul Wali Khan, thereafter his wife Begum Nasim Wali and now their son Asfand Yar Wali. So, politics is a family business in Pakistan. So talking about the democracy in Pakistan deovide of its prerequisits is nothing just a joke.

    PPP and PML-N differ with Restoration of Judges. The Co-Chairman Mr.Zardari fears that if he Restoire the Judges he may lose drip on ANP AND MQM parties from day one Mr.Zardfari was not sincere with PML-N Coalition partners. The PPP has a history to let down its political partners As a nation we cannot afford someone who is not sincere in keeping his word and agreements so help Pakistan

  • Posted By: ashami @ 08/25/2008 1:57:41 PM

    PPP and PML-N were poles apart in the Election manifesto promises. Yet there coalition was based
    on Restoration of the Judges, the PPP Co-Chairman who was benefitial of NRO and was cleared of
    corruption allegation do not want to Restore the Judges until he gets the top Post "The President"
    Aand then he would restore them or not.
