were nt the ANP linked with taking money from "agencies" at times?
the ANP have been far from clean handed in the last election - they were given a "helping" hand against other parties in some areas.
military can be kept out of politics - but why dont people in pakistan become true to the meaning of what a democracy is. we can blame the military, leaders everyone - but lets face it the whole deomcractic and political process is flawed right from the bottom to the top.
Correction MQM chief is ex Chicago cab driver & not NY one. I'm sure you don't want to be sued by NY taxi walas for insulting them... :D
As for NZ other other political parties, with an exception of ANP all the parties have been in bed with generals one time of other. It just proves that if we want genuine grass root level leadership to grow than we must keep military out of politics for all times come.
