Why Zardari Should Be President!
Posted by usmi Sep 3, 2008 06:55 am
The author has clearly no idea about the constitution of Pakistan, otherwise he would known that anyone who wants to be the president of Pakistan is required to fulfill all the conditions for being a member of a parliament first (e.g. declaring assets etc.) which AZ has not fulfilled.

Moreover, the president of Pakistan can be dismissed from service if he is mentally unstable as per the constitution of the Republic of Pakistan. Mr Zardari submitted in court, reports from two professional psychiatrists that he was mentally unstable, suffered from dementia etc. Thus, once again, he is not eligible for the seat of the president.

But I guess I understand the emotions of the author...... maybe its better to let him have it and expose him and PPP for once and all......

Well written article with an interesting perspective. What beats me though is that you apparently have a pretty decent vocabulary, but somehow use "than" and "then" incorrectly. Excuse me for pulling your leg :) but consider this as "constructive feedback".

Apart from that, keep up the good work.
What Talibanization?

@masadi Don't know why, but I feel happy reading your comments :). Nice surgery of the article and I would say some valid counter arguments.

Its been a cliché in our soceity for the last couple of years that every Tom, Dick and Harry who thinks he is "modern" and "suave" makes it a point to curse our conventional modesty e.g. dressing, hijab etc etc.
