Re: why is Nawaz sharif like this ?
There is a fine line between confidence and overconfidence.
Obviously you are using Bhutto’s famous outburst as a barometer to judge how ‘good’ he would have been instead of Sartaj Aziz. Bhutto also used the same belligerence to berate bengalis in public speeches, and break up the country. The same arrogance eventually got Bhutto so drunk in power that he basically became a different version of Nawz Sharif,just a better speaker. And it was indeed the same arrogance that landed him in the gallows. One ‘favorable’ outburst that he displayed in the UN regarding Kashmir did not benefit Pakistan in any way, other than perhaps a couple of flowery headlines in the local papers.
Sartaj Aziz and Nwaaz Sharif are sold out sissies. I have not seen a single act of statesmanship from either of them. The only person with an iota of self respect in PMLN is Ch. Nisar, and Sharifs know how to sideline him as well.
Bottom line is, when you deal with corporations instead of political parties, when you deal with family mafias instead of political parties, you end up with clowns like Sharif, Zardari and Bilawal.
Most politicians/generals/bureaucrats tend to have one or two vested interests. Either personal/business investments, or hopes of creating a legacy, regardless of how it impacts the country at large. They are solely looking out for how people will perceive them personally. Sharif seems to think that by keeping a mellow attitude, and not responding to any allegations/accusations from India or Afghanistan, he will garner international support, where people will say that Sharif is cool while his neighbors are belligerent. Even domestically, you will find him afflicted with this disease. Gen. Zia, Musharraf, Benazir, all were more interested in creating a personal legacy than doing anything broad based for the public.
And the public is equally guilty in giving legitimacy to these false legacies. People still revere Zia…there are Musharraf followers, and just look at garhi khuda baksh
