AHSAN RAFIQUE BUTT | 14 years ago | Reply Musharaf must be taken to task. He ruined Pakistan.

Fawlty | 14 years ago | Reply Pakistan is heading towards becoming a failed state, it's mostly and has always been run by corrupt politicians and industrialists, and these guys have no intention of making anything better but instead are just there for filling their own pockets. Pakistan will either fail and collapse under the huge debt that keeps on increasing year on year, or it will be over taken by the fundamentalists who will love to make it another Afghanistan !!!! and the Americans will be busy fighting terrorism in the region for the next 100 years !!!

Tanzeel | 14 years ago | Reply ... and Nawaz Shareef should have been treated like Shah e Iran.

samina | 14 years ago | Reply Musharraf was no McCrystal Musharraf wanted to collect government money, appoint criminals to high offices Why is this criminal getting western support?

Syed A. Mateen | 14 years ago | Reply @ asad: You are right. The corrupt politicians and industrialists are not different from the feudal lords. There is no accountibility for such people in Pakistan. Corrupt Politicians and corrupt industrials have eaten up Pakistan's money. Wait for few days and you will hear the news that they have to return the lootedmoney back to the government.

asad | 14 years ago | Reply @ Syed A. Mateen People like you always talk about feudals but not about the mafioso industrialist who use their ill gotten wealth to bribe their way into politics and then subvert the system to get more wealth and reach the top. DO YOU THINK PM OF INDIA CAN DO THAT, have billions abroad and pay 5000 in personal wealth tax. And don't hide behind khaki intervention mantra. Our politicians even in 50s were greedy and busy in getting lands allotted to them illegally when Indians were building foundation of democracy. DON'T believe me, read papers from that era. The tragedy is that we don't learn from history and think people like nawaz, zardari and gilani deserve another chance. I blame our population for NOT snatching their dues from these hypocrites.

Syed A. Mateen | 14 years ago | Reply Politically, Pakistan is an immature country. This is one of the reasons that whenever politicians show immaturity, Army takes over the control of the country. We cannot compare democracy of US and Pakistan. We should compare an apple with an apple. Unless feudal lords will rule the country and institutions are not strengthened, Army take over in Pakistan cannot be ruled out in future as well. Instead of comparing Pakistan's democracy with US, Mian Mohammad Nazwaz Sharif should compare Pakistan's democracy with India, where Army never interfere in country’s politics despite the fact that there was a change in government in as less as 13 days. How can one get a better feeling about strengthening of democratic process in Pakistan when elections does not take place even in the political parties itself? People of Pakistan did not got sick and tired with General (R) Pervez Musharraf during his nine years rule in the country comparing to two years PPP rule during which middle class has been completely eliminated and moved to poor class. It will take another 250 years for Pakistan to relieve a serving Army General in a similar manner as US Commander General McChrystal was relieved from his duties after his controversial statement to Rolling Stone Magazine. .

Abid | 14 years ago | Reply This could only have happened if Mr.Nawaz Sharif had shown courage to bring General Musharraf to his office and not doing the cowardly act of not allowing him to land in his own country.

Ali | 14 years ago | Reply Well said Saqib, for that we need to stop this interference of Khaakis in Politics..

H Saqib | 14 years ago | Reply Can someone tell nawaz that in order to make McChrystal out of Musharraf, you needed a democracy like USA, a president like BHO and people like Americans.

imtiaz | 14 years ago | Reply LOOK WHO IS TALKING. what is amazing is that he has a large following on GT Road. No wonder we are in this condition.

Dr. Adnan | 14 years ago | Reply Well what about his deal with Musharraf of running away ! .. lmao .. no one talks about that now eh'. What about him stealing money, what about his own wrong doing ... Well every new person in the govt blames the last one, and this has been the same since Pakistan was even born ....
