Re: How Pakistan Elects a President.
**...... Musharraf gets: 97.95% of the vote
Mubarik of Egypt would be proud of this. O.... **
Ehsan I understand your frustrations with Prez. Musharraf. However the comparison to Mubarik is totally misplaced. Back in 2005 Mubarak went for "General elections".
Our elections of Oct 6 on the other hand were not "general elections".
Mubarak didn't allow Ayman Nour to context elections.
In our elections many candidates got on the list. At least I haven't heard that someone got kicked out of election commission's office.
We ought to be critical of our government. But the criticism should be done based on knowledge and not simply "I hate you so I don't want to see your face".
Musharraf has many issues going against him, however we don't have a luxury to pick another candidate and support him.
It is like going to market and coming home with no food just because you didn't see something you liked.
You may fast for few days, but your kids will kick you out of the house if you quit bringing home the bacon [turkey bacon that is].
I hope you understand the fine difference between "want" and "need".
