Captain, what is your issue with ZAB? Do you know he was unlawfully murdered?
Being unlawfully murdered doesn't wash away other crimes! He nationalized the industry and thus destroyed country's financial/economic backbone.

Your hate for ZAB is blinding. Allweather friend China has all its industry nationalized. They are still doing very well. Your contention that pakistan's economy was destroyed by ZAB is far fetched.

First, you can accuse me of hating A Zardari, but not ZA Bhutto. Secondly, probably ZA Bhutto tried to follow in footsteps of the "allweather friend" but forgot that Pakistan and China are two different countries, two different fruits, two different animals.

During time of ZAB china was a commie basket case ,i dont think anybody thought that china was worth emulating . (I still dont think it is worth emulating but that is a discussion for another thread.)
I hope i understood ur point correctly, otherwise disregard.

Headley to plead guilty, India watches closely
NDTV Correspondent, Wednesday March 17, 2010, Chicago

On Thursday morning, in Chicago, David Coleman Headley is likely to plead guilty in a court where he’s being tried for planning and executing the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai in 2008.
In December, Headley said he was innocent when he was formally accused of playing a key role in 26/11 on behalf of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).
Headley’s revised stand doesn’t surprise some who say it’s in keeping with reports that Headley started out as an undercover agent for America.
Sources say Headley, also known as Dawood Gilani on his Pakistani passport, has been cooperating with American authorities all along, providing them with information about 26/11 and the planned attack on the Danish newspaper that printed the infamous cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed.
Many in America (and outside) question whether Headley’s cooperation stems from the fact that he started operating in the sub-continent as an American agent, working for the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Has the US decided to let Headley off lightly, in return for information that could well be the key to unravelling other terror networks? Or are they simply protecting one of their own?
The 12 charges against the 47-year-old which range from bombing targets in India to aiding and abetting murders of US citizens could result in a death penalty, but the new deal struck means it’s unlikely that prosecutors will seek capital punishment.
So will Headley’s lighter punishment be a reward for information that could help unravel some of the world’s biggest networks, or are American intelligence officials simply protecting one of their own?
For India, the concern remains whether it will get to question Headley. America has already described India’s request for Headley’s extradition as “too premature.” (Read: Headley plea bargain not a setback for India?)
Given that Headley made 9 trips to India between 2006 and 2009, and surveyed landmarks that have already been attacked, it’s critical for Indian intelligence officials to get access to him. But “he is a US citizen and unless he waives his rights to be interrogated by a foreign government the US constitution is prohibited from offering him to the Government of India. So we have done the next best thing. Everything that you want to know we are prepared to ask him, and everything that he tells us we are sharing with you,” says Ashley J Tellis, Foreign Policy Expert, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Government sources say that irrespective of Headley’s plea deal, India’s request for his extradition stands. The government will eventually file a chargesheet against him for his role in 26/11 and other terror-related activities, but the details are still being reviewed.
But if Headley does win a lesser sentence, India’s suspicion of him being a double-agent will be confirmed.
Making a plea deal is not new to Headley. When arrested on drug trafficking charges in the past, he provided so much information about his Pakistani suppliers, that he was sentenced to less than two years in jail. Prosecutors have declined to comment on what deal has been negotiated this time round.

Hi,
I think the problem in Pakistan is that there is too much zulm. Politicians are zalim, army is zalim, jagirdaar are all zalim in one or the other way. I am a doctor hailing from swat and I have first hand examples of what kind of zulms take place in pakistan. My salary is 13000 rupees per month whereas a doctor from punjab with the same grade will get about 29000! That is twice more than me. In swat during the operation the army misbehaved grossly by destroying homes/furniture of innocent people, killing young boys, raping women and young boys, being drunk and looting a lot. This is zulm from an institution we all USED to love so much and be proud of.
Most of our businessmen are also trying their best to be zalim. Giving the workers very low salaries and exploiting the markets to gain maximum profits.
The most important thing I have to tell you my dear country men:
I know you mostly are from punjab or karachi but I am not, I am pakhtun. So let me tell you some frank words. We are too obsessed with India. That obsession has shaped our entire history since independence. Pakistan in my opinion is wrongly pursuing 'strategic depth' in Afghanistan. The simple reason for this is that pakistan(punjabis mostly) should have more faith in their pakhtun brothers in pakistan and in afghanistan. We are not cowards to dagger pakistan from behind when india attacks them. We will join them and teach the indians a great lesson no to mess with pakistan again. But instead of trusting their fellow muslims pakistani establishment tries to kill influential people in our areas. They introduced extremism to our areas.
To make it short:
The sad story of pakistan is that we should make more decision base on our hearts and less on our heads.
1.for example we shouldn't have bowed to america when they treatened to bomb us but we should have shown ghairat.
2.we don't need to send extremist groups to other countries to pursue a debatable foreign policy instead we should try to make good relationships with our neighbours including india.
3.see afghanistan pakistan iran and india as equal and brotherly countries and promote a free movement of goods and people like it exists in europe. I know this is quite hard but it could be achieved within 10-15 years.
4.keep politics and army separated and thus slash heavy spending on army. Maintain a highly efficient but small army.
5.the people of pakistan should also make decision with their heart when voting. When a politician fails to deliver don't chose them even if you know he is from your area, or he is going to help you find a job.

it’s sad because pakistan has soooo much to offer but no one knows about these facts. there are beautiful landscapes and sites, but instead what’s shown on TV is the negative- Zardari 
The question is what is the solution to the problems that are holding us back and WHO can fix those problems???
