No to the President, No to the Media
63 years ago
If there was to be a sequel to the movie Mr. Bean’s Holiday, it would be called President Goes to the USA. While Mr. President had a rendezvous half way across the globe with ex girl friends and beauty pageant winners, those back home wished he hadn’t left Islamabad in the first place. The media got its much alleged freedom, but how has that helped us? If the media is so responsible and its role is so vital, why have things gone as far as they have? WHERE IS THE MEDIA? Where are the anchors and the journalists who wanted to jump at every chance? They have the resources to interview sought after terrorists, but lack the guts to confront those in the government. Mr. President, if you want to be the savior you claim you are, stop playing in the hands of our enemies, bring about change, or it will force itself on you.

Perverted President of Pakistan
10I really did not wish to write another word on the new President of Pakistan, but I feel compelled to share this cartoon that appeared in the international media.
Flirting with Sarah Palin, candidate for the office of Vice President in the USA. Is this in the name of the Shaheed Mohtarma too? Out of love for her, perhaps? May Allah have mercy on the Pakistani nation!
Wake up, we are already at War!
53 years ago
The number of missile attacks by pilot less Predator drones in Pakistan has more than tripled in the past year. Pakistani officials reported 11 such strikes this year, compared to three strikes in 2007. The strikes continue, and all we get is a grin from the President, or a statement such as “This is a war which is against Pakistan. And we’ll fight for our own past. And that is because I have lost my own leader, Benazir Bhutto, because of the militants” from the Prime Minister. Wake up, we are already at War!

The Presidency, Zardari and the Constitution
103 years ago
While the country prepares itself for Presidential elections on the 6th of September, I wonder how the PPP co-chairman (Asif A. Zardari) has managed to qualify. It has never been about democracy at all, it has been about revenge since the day they took over the government in February, democracy is just a weapon in this game.
This column looks at the eligibility of PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari strictly in the light of the constitution of Pakistan, Articles 41, 62 and 63. (more…)
Where there is a Will – there is a Way! Zardari’s Success Story
63 years ago
A young Pakistani commentator tells the tale of Asif Ali Zardari and his success in making it to the top. He is known as the most powerful man in Pakistan today. She describes him as a man who saw his wife every day, in all her glory and he patiently stood behind her chair, overlooked as a part of the background.
Mr. Zardari today has a lot to be proud of, he can afford to grin at the camera when the people in the country have no gas, electricity or food.
