Ever heard of an economic bubble? The US economy was great during most of the Bush era, do u think it was because of that president?
Ever heard of and Army running housing schemes anywhere in the world? Let alone fertilizer plants, insurance companies and what not. Ever heard of huge cantonment residential areas anywhere in the world? Ever heard of military running a Bank? Ever heard of Army (in addition to Navy) ‘owning’ beaches?
Its just that the military ‘legalizes’ its corruption, doesn’t mean it has any social benefit. Zardari was in custody of the establishment for so many years. If they could not prove anything then either he is innocent or the establishment is equally responsible for his corruption.
