18th August’08 will go down in history as the not so normal day..
President Pervaiz Musharraf, stepped down as a president, while resigning from the office of the president and leaving the President house… People you need to wake up.. we’ve been seeing a lot of hush hush to get the country into democracy… well hello.. are you waiting for another disaster? With a population that accounts less for 30% educated people, half of them who only know how to just write their names, democracy in Pakistan right now is just a disaster waiting to happen !
I as a citizen saw many ups and downs in the country since Musharraf came into power, and with all honesty I think he has been among the best President we have had, with my complete no-trust vote for PPP, or Muslim League, or any other political party. What he had done and achieved, will forever be remembered, and some may want to forget, yet still use and utilize what he has given this country.. Ever heard the term “Think what you can do for your country, not what the country can do for you - JF Kenedy”, P. Musharraf was a great example for that phrase.
We’re standing at a point where the coalition leaders want to decide who’ll be the next president, either to later kick him/her out, or to eat up the remaining economy of Pakistan, many might argue that prices saw inflation during his regime, well I would disagree.. The inflation in prices came with the New PPP/Nawaz Shariff government, before that things were pretty much stable, the price of dollar, oil, flour, and countless other things was a lot in control, and as soon as this new government popped up, prices ran an all time high.. I mean come on, can’t you se… ?
Any how, I m not really a political activist, neither want to be one, I just want this country to be stable and livable, not bearable… I want this country to be a dream come true of Quaid-e-Azam.. I want this country to be a country and not a political zoo…
Much love, faith and regards.. Pakistan.. Pakistan Zindabad.

Slightly off-topic: Speaking my mind here, I can’t stand it when Zardari pretends to be all philosophical on TV telling how he’ll mould the future of Pakistan…I mean GET REAL MR. ZARDARI… If I had a more volatile memory than a severely damaged RAM, I still would have remembered how you gobbled and munched our nation’s reserves and sucked on the veins of our already depleting economy. And after ALL the munching and gobbling and sucking (the one thing you’re really good at), you went on to show us how good your digestive system is. You NEVER BURPED! (Let alone farted)… and whats more, you had the nerve to come back again and start all over again. I have to hand it to you though, you chose the perfect nation to do your magic, PAKISTAN, the one country that has a population of 18 CARORE severely damaged RAMs!!! In the end I’ve got only 2 words to say to you Zardari… bon appetit!

Aamir, I don’t get why that is much of a concern, because I don’t really care if one breaks a rule/law as long as it’s in the benefit of the nation, and honestly, the progress made in his regime, was times more than was made in any other politicians life time..
The violation of constitution was made an issue y the politicians because, these were the people who couldn’t really benefit from the laws musharraf had laid down..
He made mistakes, and there’s not doubt about it, everyone makes mistakes… but take a good nutral analysis of his regime and you’ll know which politician was better, I would however say, that had Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto been alive, things could’ve been different, and PPP would’ve been a much more trustworthy option.
