Spock Bhia, aap optician kay paas kab say nahie gayea hain:
Where have you seen me praising Zardari? Or is it one of you abuses as usual without any substance? Recently (few days back) I wrote in Jang Viewers’ forum: You can see what I believe of Zardari or Nawaz (my post is 6th from top).

Best for a country is proper democracy. Unfortunately, proper democracy cannot come when people who rule are not equals (people from masses) but are unequal (Rich and powerful, landlords, Jageerdars, Waderas, Industrialists, Sardars, Tribal elders, etc). Democracy is not everything for a country neither democracy is just election. Democracy is way of electing/selecting people to govern the country for the betterment of the masses irrespective of their race, colour, religion, sects or cast. Democracy is one way government is formed, but there are many ways, including dictatorship and monarchy. Purpose of every government should be betterment of people and same method of forming government is not answer or solution for all conditions. In one condition (where country is feudal, tribal, poor and uneducated), only a good dictator from amongst the people can change things and bring good for the people. But if country is educated, not tribal, people are not dependent for their livelihood on land, then democracy is better. A country needs good dictatorial rule (or good monarchy) to get to an economical state, where democracy can come and flourish, else country would keep getting thugs and crooks in the name of democracy forever. This change to democracy happened in almost all world countries, where democracy is flourishing and is not sham democracy (like India and Pakistan), where people are not served by so-called democratic forces, but are exploited by them.
Democracy does not bring equality, but brings equal opportunity. Equality comes with communism (at least in theory). For democratic forces to give that, they have to be equals (from the masses … working class with economical standing like masses) and should see that their party is also open to all, giving equal opportunity to all, from within and outside the party. In sham democracy this does not happen as crooks and thugs use sham democracy to do family business of looting and plundering the country. If one wants to see the inequality of people in Pakistani democracy, one can see that in PPP where workers who spent their entire life working and struggling for PPP, even people like Amin Fahim who struggled throughout for PPP, helped Z A Bhutto into politics, even declined Prime Minister slot in 2002 for party, is parliamentary leader of PPP, still he is not equal to Zardari or even Bilawal Zardari who did not even spent a single day struggling for PPP. Fact is that PPP is family business formed to rule and plunder the country. The same is true about PML-N and other parties, including Jamaet-e-Islami and other religious parties. In PML-N, we can see presence of unelected ‘Abba’, family friends, brothers, wives, sons, son-in-laws even Samdhi benefiting and looting the country. When women reserved seats was announced by President Musharraf, Qazi Hussain Ahmed used that opportunity to get his wife and daughter into Assembly on women reserved seats. All religious parties did the same, got in their wife and daughters on women reserved seats, as all believe that their party is family business. Thus, this is called Pakistani democracy … a family business for looting, plundering and making fool of masses. Only thing we can expect from such sham democracy is economic bankruptcy, increasing misery, and destruction of country.
If anyone expecting any good from these thugs, then I am sorry, as that would be expecting impossible. It is not like military General, who in the end come from equals and may give what one can expect from equals, not like people who are running family business in the name of democracy to fool masses. Dictators do not leave legacy and today we do not have son or daughter of Musharraf running for Presidency. Similarly, Ayub Khan, Yahya-Khan or Zia-ul-Haq, none left sons and daughters as head of political party, running for president or prime minister posts. I think that all four Generals who ruled Pakistan tried betterment of people (according to their ability) what Pakistanis could expect from democracy, some (like Musharraf) were more successful than others.
