Kick Out One Crook, Kick In Another

by on 06. Sep, 2008 in Issues, News, Pakistan, Politics

Asif Ali Zardari, husband of the slain Ex-Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto, is now the President of Pakistan. He forced Musharraf out of power because he was from the military and corrupt; he elected himself because he thinks it is quite an achievement to spend 11 years in prison on corruption charges.

I keep saying that Pakistan will never see democracy because it is torn apart between bad and worse politicians. Asif Ali Zardari just makes my point stronger, even though I would love to be proven wrong. One corrupt person goes, another comes in, and this is how it is in Pakistan.

Why am I whining? Can I do something? Not really, people in Pakistan like the way things are. They have to live their lives every day in that country and they are the ones who elect the politicians who are corrupt. Even though I have a Green Passport; I am not directly involved with Pakistan. My view of Pakistan is that of a spectator… I wish I could be of any more help…

    Well yeah we will have to wait and see if asif ali zardari is a continuation of a generation of corrupt politicians and dictators that have been coming through in both democratic and undemocratic ways.
    I would like to make a point to the charges against general musharraf. Although some politicans accuse him of mishandling the money given to Pakistani military to fight the so-called war on terror and even recently obama happen to say the same thing about him, no one has been able to come up with anything more than mere rhetoric to prove this. General musharraf still lives in the country like any other citizen of Pakistan and if anyone has enough evidence, lets give him a fair trial then.
