Excellent post but its like kicking someone when he is already down. I am amazed that how a lot of people have suddenly found morality (Dr. Amir Liaquat) and balls to stand against Musharraf when they realized he is weak.

Amer bhai: despite having invented the internet, you dont really get it. it is not "kiyani" or "nawaz sharif" or "zardari" any scoundrel needs to fear - it is the ordinary people of Pakistan. Who brought the rogue general to his knees. And whom politicians and even generals with the nations guns at their disposal can ignore only at their peril - as musharraf found out. as zardari (who has a similar arrogant disregard for the public, regardless of his fake humility) will find out if he continues his current path of palace intrigues.

Moral of the story is this: When you see Pakistan in dire
situation(s) and you are in a position of power, your
friends goad you and ask you "what are you
doing to save the country?" "You should do something! We
will support you!"

When such a time comes, and you have this urge to step
up to the plate and attempt to save the country that you
love and whose borders you defended all your life, politely
say, "no thank you! You do it if you want".

Re: # 8

zeemax,

..... i have already been made a murgha by the two fools who are in charge of this sinking ship - i have lost 25% of my rupee assets (yes, shame on me for not converting to a fe25)......... in another six months the daily paper will cost 500 rupees as the fools battle over cement permits for their nephew and duty free cars for their mistresses ...... let's just hope altaph bhai does not start a war with the 'taliban' of landi and lyari ......

brigadier muzaffar zindabad !

Re: # 6 Tahmed Buddy:

You have either amnesia or selective memory and warm appreciation of thinking of mob ( people in the streets. These are the very people who danced in the streets welcoming General Mush as the liberator.

Now what happened?

#13 this is the standard indian line. What happened, my friend, was that mush did not respect his own word and backed off - and so steadily lost popular support.

Why is this so hard to understand for Indians on chowk to understand? Is it because "who" (ethnically, religion-wise) a person is is more important than his actions to you gentlemen? this is a serious question.

one of the earliest childhood memories I have is when we were visiting Pakistan in 1977 ... i must have been 6/7 perhaps ... ZAB's government was toppled by "amir-ul-momineen" and there was just pure jubilation on the streets.... people literally dishing out "halva" (a term used to spite the maulvis by the PPP wallas), dancing about and all sorts ....... almost feels like de ja vu! .... perhaps in a different direction ..... one only hopes the "right" one! though if I were a betting man ..
