Re: June 2007: Will be a decisive month for Pakistan.

question is will we see a mini-pakistan here on GS, whenever BB makes the deal with Mushi and they're bosom buddies after bashing each other for ages, will the fans/political workers of both on this site do the same? we've already seen MQM's supposedly anti-military people and the army people make the same points and hold hands, will we see PPP supporters and establishment supporters start glossing over each other's faults soon too?

So we are all hypocrite! NS made a lot of noise about IK during 1997 elections, now they are joining hands.

no, I'd prefer the pronoun "they" instead of we, whether it is the political leaders or their die-hard, come-what-may fans.

In an unprecedented visit three top men from America arrive for a week long jaunt in Pakistan, and spend all their time falling over each other in praise and support of President-General Pervez Musharraf - much to the consternation of the opposition parties.

While at the same time Benazir puts Nawaz Sharif into her purse, and declares that she will PM for 5 years, and then maybe he can after that. That had his party doing somersaults.

June has indeed been a very important month in defining the future course of Pakistan’s governance.

Ayaz Amir, the darling of the anti-military haters said on 1st June.

Even military-hater Ayaz Amir’s has commented on Aalsi’s great analysis. *But the political parties, victims of confusion or expediency, lag behind. They still have a role to play but only if they can bring themselves to adopting a clear, unambiguous stand regarding Musharraf’s ‘reelection’. **And to be of any use, they must do this now, in the next 20-30 days, rather than wait for Sep/Oct when it might already be too late. **

Well 20 days has now passed. Let’s see if his hope turns to reality in the next 9-10 days? Doubt it, considering the PPP and JUI-F are busy cosying upto the govt to get slots in the pre-election interim setup.](“http://www.dawn.com/weekly/ayaz/ayaz.htm”)
