I thought that is inevitable that those figures would return to Pakistan. Otherwise there is no point of having elections.
What does this book have to do with those respected parties, the Author was in the armed forces herself and she was a accounts officer. It has nothing to with a political party more a book about the many scandals that the Pakistani army has.
Why are you weeping about Nawaz and Benazir they are not even in Pakistan, so you still have a dictatorship in Pakistan cheer up?
Dictatorship is far more better than democracy for Pakistan. Until we have voters that are uneducated and voting for those corrupt politicians, democracy should be kept away from Pakistan.
I got a nice paragraph here from Umais on SSC:
Democracy shemocracy. It's a nice word that everyone's learned from the West and loves to use it. They've done a good job of telling that it's "THE" way of running a government. The way I see it is, it won't work here. Mushi-style dictatorship is the only way to go, I'm afraid. The day we are learned enough and educated, then probably democracy would work here. Our so-called democratic parties are a joke. They aren't even democratic. Basically, it's just a struggle between establishments under the façade of democracy.
And from Karachiite:
The question is: what is more important to us - having a perfect democracy or economic development? Our neighborâs economy is growing a 9.4%/year and our's is growing at 7%/year. They are already leaving us behind in prosperity for their people. We need to grow faster. Yet many people in Pakistan are more interested in bringing back corrupt politicians at the cost of economic growth.
Nothing is going to slow down the relentless population growth in Pakistan. We seem to be adding 5 million more people every year. What future are they going to have if we don't grow our economy? Our neighbor is going to be one of the richest and most powerful countries of the future. Are we going to hand over our future generations to work like maids and domestic servants for the people of our neighboring country?
People need to thing of the consequences before choosing politics over economic growth.
Musharraf has taken Pakistan's GNP from $60 billion to $140 billion adding $80 billion. This is the best performance in the history of Pakistan. What does he get in return? That many people badmouth him all the time and wish that he was dead.
Pakistan needs to forget about politics and just concentrate on economic growth. Thats the only way to improve the lives of the people.

So all those morons that we have in our country that are worried about democracy, democracy is pointless unless its bringing fruits. In Pakistan's case, it brought thorns. The longer the musharraf stays in power, the better it is for Pakistan. I can't imagine what would happen if one of those power thirsty corrupt politicians come into power.
