Why do people resort to ‘wishing Death’ on people when they do not agree with them? Maybe the Lawyers feel they have lost the battle with regards to their reinstatement as per the Muree Accord, and somehow by ‘Wishing Death’ on Great Zardari they will get what they want?

Death to Zardari - angry lawyers
Islamabad - Pakistani lawyers on Thursday staged protests in several cities to press for the reinstatement of judges sacked by the country’s former president Pervez Musharraf.
The black-suited lawyers were joined by political party workers and other supporters carrying black flags as they blocked key roads for two hours, shouting slogans against the government.
“Reinstate judges” they chanted, saying that “War will continue” until the judiciary’s independence is restored.
In Islamabad, a group of angry lawyers tore down posters of Asif Ali Zardari, the widower of slain ex-premier Benazir Bhutto and a leading presidential candidate to succeed Musharraf in a September 6 election.
Zardari’s Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is accused by lawyers of not reinstating the judges sacked by Musharraf in 2007.
The party of another former premier Nawaz Sharif quit Pakistan’s four-party coalition on Monday after the PPP dragged its feet on the issue.
In the eastern city of Lahore hundreds of lawyers staged sit-down protests in front of the provincial assembly building and three other public sites.
And in the central city of Multan 1 000 lawyers, traders, political workers and other supporters blocked the main national highway, bringing all inter-city traffic to a halt.
“Death to Zardari,” “Asif Zardari is the enemy of judiciary, enemy of justice,” said protesters, who were carrying flags and placards.
“It is a conspiracy against independent judiciary,” the leader of Multan Bar Association, Mehmood Ashraf Khan said, addressing the protesters.
