Before everybody starts their favorite Zardari bashing game, please have a look around you. People are corrupt, hence we have rulers that are corrupt. I deal with pakistani and indian businessmen in Dubai and let me tell you, we are a corrupt people. I've heard a pakistani customs officer with business and property in wife's name in Dubai complain about Zardari

the political system is corrupt and flawed hence corrupt leaders

the political system is corrupt and flawed hence corrupt leaders

No, it's the other way around. The political system is corrupt and flawed because of corrupt "leaders" and people who were mostly raised in Pakistani society. Don't just limit corruption to Government, look at law enforcement, education, commerce and business, etc.

All these fall under govt

All these fall under govt

Including army.. Right ???

 

[A1Kaid]

All these fall under govt

No, you can't always blame "Government" for individuals acts of corruption of people, people have to take self-responsibility, and execute their duties with professionalism and integrity something many in Pakistan fall short of. Businesses and commerce doesn't necessarily fall under Government, because there are private businesses. As for Law enforcement, and corruption elsewhere it has to do with the character of these people that's where the corruption stems from, greed.
