Does anybody seriously think that Benazir Bhutto is going to save Pakistan? I mean seriously, she is just riding this wave created by the emergency in Pakistan to come back into power. Can we take a moment from this uninterrupted and obsessive media coverage and ask what has she done in the past that we are blindly leading her back into taking charge of Pakistan's future. The Guardian has a piece on her and Asif Zardari: "Trail of corruption and kickback...". Isn't politics about constant promises... what's her promise: "I will save Pakistan and bring democracy till me and my party have taken every single penny out of Pakistan and saved it in our Swiss Accounts... then we will leave you again! for some other distressed Army General to come back in and stabilize the situation?"
Reading that piece should not leave any doubt in a sane mind she is not any better for Pakistan than President Musharraf.
I am ashamed to point out that our media as the Western Media is using the same techniques to awash the public mind in distress. "War on terror" meets "Geo Democracy". This ridiculous campaign of flooding the screens by repeating clips of bomb blasts, lawyers being arrested, women getting arrested and Military dictators... is it helping us? Is it true Journalism? Why take them out of their context and repeat them? Why not show clips from Benazir's previous campaigns of false promises, why just show Military dictators?
Is Geo and other channels just having a blast! Are they cashing the eye-balls? revenues streaming in due to the situation. Who is really benefiting from this... who owns shares in these media establishments...
I certainly hope that this does not trickle down into the International community's subconscious... making them believe that we need outside help... "the Caravan of Democracy" from likes of USA, UK or others as for Iraq and Afghanistan.

Well as far as my mind/ memory goes.. Nobody has ever done anything great for Pakistan for the past 60 years, if we go earlier then yess, his name was Quaid-e-Azam he gve us a beautiful country called Pakistan which is currently being rules by the meanest of all men and women.
Neither Benazir, nor Nawaz Sharif that includes Perviz Musharaf as well can do anything to take Pakistan out from its current crisis, believe it or not we (the youth) have to bring a revolutionary change to Pakistan by doing more than attending weddings, concerts, fooling around, getting high lolz. Seriously Its about time Pakistani's
you, my friend, need to send this to some international publication so that everyone gets to read it.
abdul this post would be better named
as Benazir Phutto.
but not to happy with what happened today anyway.
i guess now some will be very happy, now that she is gone!R.I.P
There is no humanity left in pakistan.
PK = ? (only God knows)
well ... she's gone now, may Allah give her peace. One thing that I have stopped doing is judging people from their past. I mean the hole idea is naive. If I try to judge my own self from my past, I won't be able to find peace at all. I regret things what I have done in the past, but still I look for a bright future. We form opinions hastily and I don't blame anyone except the media as it's making us less tolerant as nation day by day.
Was never a fan of the western ideology behind the late Ms. Bhutto's recent agenda. Upon finding some conflicts, I did some research to find many things were depicted wrongly by the media.
@anonymous:- many people find conflicts in others very easily and never give them a fair judgment. To refute the efforts of all people after the Quaid would be immoral. Every one played their role. Even this dum ass of so called president as of today did too. It's in the interest of others to raise internal conflict in Pakistan. Our main problem is that we don't have a leader. We find ourselves at odds with the thinking of the common man here which does not mean that we start calling them names like our senior officials.
And YES! the responsibility rests upon our shoulders to bring a change. But a useless youth with the idea of "chill-pill" in their minds all the time and not accepting anyone as their leader is exactly what our enemies plan to do. Make the youth useless by injecting "chill pills" in them and at the same time raise internal conflict. Make all politicians lose credibility.
That being said, why don't we the youth come out of our homes and heck! give Imran Khan a chance? Support him not ? Or is there a problem with him too ? that he married a Rothschild and was sleeping around with the royal whores of the U.K. ? I mean get real ! Pick one person before it's too late!
