Pakistani election mess
From the Khaleej Times, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The more things change in Pakistan, the more they seem to remain the same. It was only six months ago that the people celebrated when the outcome of Feb. 18 polls brought the two leading parties and bitter rivals together in an unprecedented coalition.
That historic alliance is now in tatters ahead of the crucial presidential election.
Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan Muslim League has finally walked out of the governing coalition with the Pakistan Peoples Party of Asif Ali Zardari.
What happens now? Pakistan’s leaders and politicians will be held to account by the voters.

None of these politicians and free media knows or ignoring the fact that Pakistan is on the brink of bankruptcy and these all azzholes are fighting? None of them is worries or at least looks worried about Pakistan or the people of Pakistan.
Nawaz Sharif got what he deserved. Because all he said was I want musharraf to resign showing that all he cared was the resignation of Musharraf not Pakistan.

Are we talking about the same voters holding them accountable who elected them? The unfortunate truth is we are all ostriches and we think by burrying our head in the sand things will go away. Our country has gone to the dogs and we are still thinking of holding them accountable.

The judges who never got time in last 11 and a half year to open a case file of him, filled without any charge ever being proven against him ( also tearing his posters when he become president) but with the justice of time and the grace of ALLAH TALA, he is the President of the country in whose prisons he lived for no reason & restored the judges as performing his duty being a democratic leader & an elected president of the Pakistan..
I am proud to have an elected & democratic President Of Pakistan…Long Live President Asif Ali Zardari…
