Pakistan needs a real revolution...Where we topple all the feudals and all the mullahs...
The spectre of a revolution in Pakistan is not a pleasant thought. Much bloodshed would result and the strong Army would be a serious obstacle to overcome. This is one reason why they are so entrenched, I would guess. If possible, political means are the route and Musharraf must be continually pressured by the world community over time to move towards this. He must be watched, carefully. Dictators in the past have matured badly, generally.

I honestly dont think the Army is all powerful... If the people wanted they could topple any military ruler..
Its all a matter of empowerment of the masses. If they were better educated, if they could worry about social change and not about feeding their families, PAkistan would be different place overnight.

The truth is that madrassa churn out people who are only capable of using their lota. And this was said by a Pakistani politician, but he had to retract it after death threats by crazy mullahs. Was he also not muslim?

Huh?
Democracy is the biggest Farce on the Masses
Read and ponder:
Democracy – Democracy – Democracy
One gets literally fed up these days with the harangue for democracy by the so-called champions of democracy and it is indeed amusing to see their pathetic plight helplessly craving for democracy and giving the impression to the masses that they are simply ‘dying’ to serve them. For this they are adopting all means fair and foul with the least qualms for their principles, ethics or morality. They are conniving behind closed doors with their erstwhile political enemies in forming flimsy political alliances that would crumble even before the ink dries on the paper that these alliances are written upon.
Every Zaid, Umar and Bakr is commenting upon every thing under the political sun and considers him/herself to be the wisest whiz kid around in the art of politics. They are shouting themselves hoarse that the Constitutional amendments can only be made by the parliament and not by an individual. May one ask which Parliament ? The parliament which was once termed as worse than a fish market ? The parliament who killed its Deputy Speaker with the arms of the chairs ? The parliament whose members are held hostage in Swat, Chhanga Manga and Dulia camps ? The parliament whose honourable member, though one of the biggest feudal lords yet loses in his own constituency and gets elected from far off Narowal where the ‘voters’ even do not know his name but are ordered to ‘elect’ him by an other feudal lord. The parliament whose honourable members are well known for horse trading and can sell themselves for petty permits and quotas ? Come on, Sir, have a heart.
Are these parliamentarians even worth touching, let alone amending, the sacrosanct constitution of a country ? If they can do so, why can’t General Pervez Musharraf, who is :-
(1) allowed by the Supreme Court of Pakistan to do so, (2) keeping all informed and involved by holding discussions with them about the proposed amendments, (3) determined to bring in democracy from the grass roots level, (4) determined to make that democracy work honestly and most efficiently in the best interest of the country. Not to get off its tracks, as he calls it. (5) determined not to let the army take over ever again, (6) also determined not to let the Prime Minister or the Parliamentarians go astray and indulge in corrupt practices of here-to-fore. (7) more knowledgeable and capable than most parliamentarians, (8) trained for years to carry out a detailed analysis of a situation and then execute a plan of action to achieve the best possible results, (9) honest down to the marrow of his bone. Can any one raise a finger against him or his team even for the corruption of a penny ?, (10) sincere to the masses and has long reaching plans for their amelioration, (11) selfless and not power hungry - despite what the politicians are trying their best to project him otherwise, (12) bold and wise to keep India at bay despite all odds against him and Pakistan.
Now, my dear politicians, which one of the above things Pervez is doing wrong ? Why don’t you let him carry on with his programme? Why are you simply dying to restore the democracy of your style? to serve the masses or to grab the power and do all that what you have been doing before ? Loot and Plunder. You have a hope !

I think mxing people with eachother will create a good culture, people should be encouraged to work and live in other provinces, which is not happening very much in pakistan becuase we are so much biased towards eachother by these politicians.
provinces should be given autonomy in local developments, law and order, etc only. for rest of things all the boddies should be one unit
