 If United States is for democracy then let her understand that there is a democratic set up in Pakistan which is patently farcical and a hoax. After two years of the incumbent government of PPP in power, president Zardari has failed to transfer powers to the prime minister of Pakistan that he had promised and which was part of the PPP’s elections manifesto. The governance has remained in a state of paralysis and there does not seem to be any chance for good and clean governance to come by. If someone is under the illusion that the worst democracy is better than the best dictatorship then let him correct his political perceptions. In Pakistan it is neither worst democracy nor the best dictatorship. It’s a government that is being run by “Ali Baba Aur Chalees Chores).

 The cancer of corruption is spreading world wide, some spots with thicker growth while others in the growing tumorous stage, but prevalent never-the-less all over. Unfortunately, Pakistan falls in the thick growth area and rated as one of the most corrupt countries, way up in the ladder of the world corruption order. What is still more alarming is that it has been there for quite some time now and likely to stay near the top for some quite seeable future unless measures are taken to wrest the spread. Corruption hurts economies, people, and governments. Corruption is unethical, immoral, and illegal in all societies, religions, and countries. It needs to be rooted out. Private organizations, United Nations, and some governments have attempted to stop corruption or at least prevent it but have failed.
 The real issue in Pakistan is whether this country should have a presidential or parliamentary form of government. Veritably, at present, it is a presidential form because the prime minister by all indications is rubber stamp and dependent upon the strings pulled from the presidency. With the president having absolute powers, the existing government is patently an extension of the system of government that was in vogue under General Pervez Musharraf. The so called draconian caveat called 58/2-B injected in the constitution of Pakistan by Pervez Musharraf as part of the 17th Amendment in 2004, with the help of certain poltical parties, empowered the president to dissolve the National Assembly.
MTT - Pakistan - President of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Mr. Asif Ali Zardari.
I have great liking for Mr. AA Zardari as a person. But, solemnly, I cannot support or vouch for his politicking style which in the mildest term is bizarre and shifty. AA Zardari has exhibited himself more like a street urchin than the father figure of a nation yearning for a redeemer for six decades now. AA Zardari possesses a mindset to sacrifice the supreme national interests for the basest personal motives. AA Zardari seems ready, for no cogent reasons, to demonstrate defiance that if shown for good causes, could have earned him the abiding gratitude of the Pakistani nation. Only a psychiatrist can figure out as to why AA Zardari has an unenviable knack to do even the harmless things in a wrong and intriguing manner. Is AA Zardari being pampered and puffed up by his imprudent and fair-weather advisers or is AA Zardari a victim of the personality disorders that impel him to move in self-chosen paths unmindful of the ground realities? AA Zardari has infamously distinguished himself to be a past master in palace intrigues and uncanny scheming that earn him more ridicule and vitriol by the already harried citizenry of Pakistan.

 Toronto: Have you ever seen the notorious cock-fighting or dog-fighting? If not and want to see something like that then there are places where you can see people behaving like that. When you see them you will not be shocked but definitely compelled to think what type of people they are. They claim to be highly educated, responsible, respectable and civilized people of good families but behave like ferocious wild animals. The saying: Nature Cannot Change fully suits them.
