Re: # 6 Dear sachapaki, you are absolutely right. Two days ago a Bangladeshi poet read a poem at the AGM of Exile Ink in london. It was heart rending. It was about an army raping and killing its own people. I did not know where to look. I talked to him afterwards. He can barely talk. Even his poems are read by someone else. When he was fourteen he was shot during a protest. A bullet went right through his throat - he was flown to the UK and he survived. Once out of the hospital, he lived on the streets since his familly was in Bangladesh. Now in his forties, he is being recognized as an exceptional poet.

Re: # 5 Thank you Ambeekhatee, Reading the response from Tigram, I thought I will never write again, no never, not even on gun point... but since your support I have recovered and changed my mind once again - the story of my life... thank you...

After all, it is a crucial time, everyone should do his/her bit in their own way... these writtings are all that I can do...any encouragement feels so great.

I think we are at a cross-road from where either we will emerge as a civilized country finally or lose even what we have left... we must all do our bit to make the world understand that the common pakistani is normal like anyone else although we have been depicted otherwise since the last eight years by our own leader - it was, of course, a zero-sum game. His gain was our loss...

Re: # 6:-- Act he will .When the Americans tell him.

What a pity? Don't we have even a single civilian in Pakistan worthy of being the head of a Civilian Dept.? Everywhere Retd. Generals.....Everywhere...

Pakistan's name should be changed to "Generalstan". Army does not have any contribution in the independence of Pakistan. It was the civil society and lawyers under the guidance of great Quaid who sacrificed their lives to get their "own" country, which is now owned rather captured solely by Army. We (civilians) pay the taxes to feed our army, which already is sucking more than 70% of Pakistan's annual budget and resources. Still their lust of power remains unfulfilled!

Musharraf is so desperate and afraid of being called a civilian that he has refused to leave the Army house. I am surprised why new Army Chief "Kianai" is behaving like a "Zanani"? It seems that Kianai is only a dummy, the original power still rests with Mush backed by Bush.

Pakistan Army does not have the courage to fight against enemy, whenever they fought they lost. That's the main reason they keep themselves busy in fighting against their own people and conquering their own mosques, judiciary and media. Shame shame (Nanga nanga shame shame....)

Musharraf's deeds and army's support for him has tarnished Pakistan Army’s name so badly which no more enjoys any respect at all, not only in the country but in the entire world.

Army is the mother of corruption and all social evils and injustices in Pakistan. Being a Pakistani I am really ashamed of their acts!!!

The only way Army can mend their lost dignity is to throw away Mush from the power, invalidate the PCO (Pervez's Constitutional Order) and restore the Judiciary as of 2nd November 2007. Mr. Kiani! you have to act fast.. now or never...

Tigram darling,

What you need is a brain!

What an anencephalic response!

I have a suggestion. Before you started commenting on sophisticated satire, start reading Dr. Seuss!

Perhaps then you can move on to comic books and so on.

i dont know what kind of satire is this .You need grooming man.

Very Funny!

The bane of our existence, mediocrity; enlightened or not!

Its almost oxymoronic, Enlightenment and Mediocrity together.

Laddu jee,

Pakistanis are mostly mediocre, and far far away from enlightened.

Pakis are all "enlightened" - even their mediocrity is a great gift to them.

simply great........
