Re: Terrorism?
Pir ji, I agree with some of your points, but I will tell you that during my recent visit I found the public extremely agitated, distrustful of Musharaf. There is a common belief (folklore maybe) that Musharaf and his croonies are manipulating KSE. They are buying most of the products from the market and storing them in goddams ...so they can sell them later when the supplies run short. Another perception is that he is well aware of these tactics and chooses not to do anything about it.
On a local level, life in lahore is a mess. Local Nazims (4 to 5 together) have formed partnerships and gunda parties which raid other nazims localities on regular basis with the protection from police. People are tired of this lawlessness and want a change.
