Re: When would Pakistanis say “enough is enough”?
Why is Saudi a bad example? It proves your point wrong completely.
Actually you don’t need a new breed of politician. After all Zardari was not a new breed at all but the 18 Amendment was brilliant for our democracy. That is something everybody in Pakistan will give him credit for.
And the only way to say no is through elections. It will take 40 years maybe longer but that is the only way. After all remember that the founding fathers of the US were all slave owners. They were homophobic. They were racists. They didn’t believe in woman’s suffrage. They would not considered ideal leaders in this day and age. But the US democracy evolved over 2 centuries.
They also made sure that govt stays away from religion, and knew danger of mixing religion with politics.
