President Musharraf had a great run as the ruler of the country, but it seems like his life is about to get thorny. Ruling a country would be much easier sometimes if only all of our previous partners simply disappeared, never to be seen again. But in reality, we’ve all accumulated our own collections of ex partners. How much of an impact they may have on our current lives depends on a number of unknown questions.
Who is her absolute true love?
Who will get the custody of poor democracy?
Will they resist the temptation of not acting like they did before?
How can friendship be regained with an estranged ex?
All I have to say is that with the return of Bud and Tind there are rough times ahead.. Their rule is famously known as the lost decade, what makes people think it will be any different now?
RD, any thoughts? BTW is Mr. 10 percent going to be back in business?
Musharraf has done good things for pakistan....Pakistanis have such a short memory..... Mutarma and Nawaz sahib looted the country for eons ....and our awaam want them back...idiots!!.
democracies around the world, dont use leaders that are tried and test for worst things!
if a party lose the elections, party leader he/she resigns from the post!
if a single case or issue is against the member of party or leadership, they resign!
if a leader has enough chances to lead the country, they retire and give other chances to come forward and lead the party!
I dont think any of the party leader in Pakistan follow these democratic norms in democracy! which apparently they are working to restore!
specially for BB - there is only democracy when she is prime minister. anything else there are Kangroo Courts and no democarcy if her party doesnt win.
I dont know why very decent people within PPP or anyother parties dont come forward! I am sure they can find another person easily who doesnt speak with any logic with good english and worst national language speaker.(I doubt if there is a single PM in the whole world who cant speak own language)
Or they are waiting for Bilawal to take charge of PPP!
I can bet on BB she would accept a PM post at any cost, even if its offered without election/selection. She will be ready to be un elected PM/administrator for Pakistan.
People in pakistan vote on basis of sympathy(BB lost her father, and brother, so she deserves to rule pakistan regardless of any abilities), tribe and community mass voting. they dont care if the person is corrupt or criminal, that doesnt matter.
in my view, due to personal hanging on to power, Political parties have failed to produce leaders cause there is no culture of transfer of leadership in their life!
any voting done within the parties every to elect the leader??? its just bunch of top group who select the same old used leaders.
once they are start doing that, parties will be stronger not a person. same will be be infused to government, then system will function if any saja gamma come and go!
for all those who say bb and ns looted pakistan. yes, they did. and it hasn't stopped under musharaf either. he doesn't do it personally but his supporters inside and outside the army have had a field day raping the pakistani economy industry and people. musharaf needs these people to keep in power and therefore has had to make that compromise.
that's just the way things are in pakistan in particular, 3rd world in general

Bhaijan, just imagine, under BB and NS, Pakistan's economic figres would have been 10 times better than this in the past 8 years:
: Forex Reserves up from just $1 billion to nearly $16 billion.
: Tax revenues up from just $ 5 billion to nearly $14 billion.
: FDI up from under $1 billion to $8.4 billion.
: Remittances up from less than $0.5 billion to $5 billion.
: GDP has doubled from $70 billion to $140 billion.
: GDP Growth rates averaging 7% over the last 4 years (up from 3% in 99).
