Mother of all Elections

In spite of everything, these elections should never have taken place. In some masochistic frenzy the Pakistani electorate, co-opting Western pro-democracy agitprop, have in essence surrendered their nation to Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari; both utterly reprehensible and proven criminals.

Pakistan's turbulent climate particularly in so far as separatists, fundamentalists and terrorists as well as poverty, illiteracy and one sided globalisation/(imperialism) shall inevitably be aggravated by these criminals having acquired office.

Musharraf's martial law will be looked back at with nostalgia, by the time Sharif and Zardari have had their way.
