Re: # 5
Its good that we share the same professional background. I also manage a software house in US that outsource its software development to software houses based in Karachi and Lahore. I know lot of people in this industry in Pakistan, specially karachi.

As you said, you have invested multi-million dollars in IT Industry, can you please describe exactly the name of the companies and individuals who taken over your investment. Its pretty easy to do the "Hawai Fire".

If we only talk about the Economy, In my opinion Musharraf did a better job as compared to previous governments of PPP or PML-N. Pakistan was on a brink of bankruptcy when Nawaz (not so Sharif) was booted out.

Musharraf actually did really good in the beginning of his tenure when he was CEO, but since he became the president, the ride was downhill. He had good intentions but later on he was more busy in securing his chair, as he thought that, if he leaves, the same corrupt politicians will come back and revert all what he has done.

One can go ahead and criticise but keep the reaalities and obstacles in mind.

Re: # 3 Thanks for the offer - but I dont have the level to take on such an important responsibility - though I am sure there are people out there who qualify - and lets hope they get the job...

Well, I have been forced into this role to be honest, of criticizing...
Earlier, I had established and managed a multi-million dollar IT group of companies in Pakistan over a period of eighteen years which was taken over by some friends of a corrupt NAB Chairman... this was inspite the fact that Mush had recognized my contribution towards IT in Pakistan...

And when no appeal for justice is entertained if it is against an army general and you are forced into exile - then believe me my friend, it makes you think, and during the process you become privy to facts that you would rather live without if you had a choice...

Dictatorship, Human Rights, free judiciary and free press - are not matters that I have invented - though, I am qualified enough to read and learn about such important issues and then criticize with the hope that what happened to me would not happen to others...

You will agree that by not criticizing, by going silent, with reference to the destruction of recognized laws and institutions is no solution either...

I guess its time to award the preidency to Mr. Amer Nazir. He will sure take Pakistan to the new heights, lol.

Critisizing is the easiest thing, one can do.
