Re: Clouds gather as ‘sulky’ Musharraf retreats to bunker
Yanks need to be shown middle finger thrown out permanently from Pakistan. They have no bloody business in meddling in our internal affairs.

Leave us alone
DO we Pakistanis as civilians, journalists, human rights organisations, NGOs or our ambassadors and government ever go to the US to tell the Americans what to do in their country? The answer is ‘no’. Then why should American consulates and ambassador in our country intervene in or interfere with our national affairs advising our newly-elected party chiefs to do this or that? This naturally creates great suspicion about their offering, ie money, for favours such as continuity of their proteges.
A democratic wave has finally taken a turn, provoked by American policies working in this country till Feb 18. We Pakistani masses wish this new democracy to be nurtured rather than be nipped in the bud by American influence.
America claims to be a great supporter of democracy, then why not give us a chance to implement the will of our masses as it is they who have brought this change in our country by their vote and from here we wish to make this country rather than break it, as has been happening almost every day in the form of bomb blasts against American policy working in this country.
It is my anticipation that if our leaders now do away with American influence, the destruction of our country through bomb blasts will reduce.
As far as terrorism is concerned, it is Pakistan’s own priority and whether America asks for it or not, pays for it or not, we have to do it at our own cost of money and men to save this country from chaos. But saving the US in their country is not our problem. Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif both have the great responsibility on their shoulders to join hands and and steer clear this nation through all the temptations on offer, all threats to their lives, and all other conspirational moots organised inside or outside the country to trap them into following a wrong direction.
A local channel is commendably playing these days the line of a song, Jo waada kiya woh nibhana padega. Let them add one more line to it: Rokay zamana kitna bhi tumko, karke dikhana padega.
The masses admire this reminding message to our national leaders at this critical time. If they failed to deliver now, then some new parties and new faces will emerge out of our national need to plant democratic norms for ever in the country and will snatch the next election from them.
It is Pakistan which has to live long (Long Live Pakistan) and not the individuals unless they sacrifice themselves for the country. If we did not stand firmly now against all odds, it will be most unfortunate as never again in future elections such clean sweeps may occur. So the two parties’ leaders must employ all their wisdom and very sincerely unite their political strengths together to run this country according to wishes of the masses who have voted for them in great hope.
