Re: Zardari has come a long way
There was a time when everyone used to hate the name ‘Zardari’. The only thing associated with his name was the title “Mr. 10%”. Even many PPP supporters used to yearn for Benazir and Bhutto.
Then by luck he became president. Everyone was very sure that such a person will fail miserably, and that included Americans per wikileaks.
But he has proved everyone wrong. His policy of staying engaged with everyone has brought him more and more allies. So much so that he is bound to be the first president, I think, who will complete the 5-year tenure.
Here are few things which come in my mind:
His is the sane voice in PPP who has brought MQM back to stay allies everytime some hotheads in Sindh created trouble.
His policies towards Talibanic extremism are exemplary. In fact better than Benazir. Taliban would never have thought that taking out Benazir will actually bring even a bigger of their enemy to power.
While keeping America engaged, he also started talking to Iranians and now the gas pipeline project is again active.
It doesn’t mean that everything he has done is the best. But I think he has surprised everyone with his politics .
He is the dumbest leader since Nawaz sharif he did not get into power by luck who ever america chooses gets into power including a convicted fraudster like Zardari!
The sooner he joins his father in graveyard better for all people of pakistan.
