Bush was never as unpopular in the US as Zardari is in Pakistan. Also, Bush was directly elected by the people of the US twice, whereas Zardari became our president using cheap circus tricks. The People's Party that was elected to power was not this one, Pakistanis were shown Aitezaz Ahsan, Amin Fahim etc. as the PPP's leaders, and once elected, all these people were replaced by Zardari, Rehman Malik and the gang. That's not democracy at all.
Secondly, Bush was a bad leader for us, the people living outside the US. To the Americans, he was just another not-so-successful President. He was never on a "pardon list" of any sort, he did not impede the other branches of government (legislative and judiciary) and, most of all, he did not have criminal cases pending against him or secret bank accounts in Switzerland which suddenly swelled when he became President.
Lastly, Bush was not my President. Zardari, unfortunately, is. Therefore, I have no right to say whether Bush should have remained President or not, but I have every right to say that Zardari must be removed. This government will see a shameful end unless it gets rid of Zardari. I personally think that the current government deserves a fair chance and a full-term, but they will never manage to achieve much under Zardari-rule. It seems that every time Zardari screws up, Gillani has to come to the rescue. Gillani must serve the Pres an ultimatum, one more screw-up and you're out.
