In a country like Pakistan where the literacy rate is 17% or 20% (not sure) and
where majority of the people are farmers or put more correctly MUZARES (people
who dont own the land but till the land of a big landlord), you should not
expect to see a change of faces in a democracy.  As those poor guys are going
to vote for that candidate who their landlord endorse.  You should expect the 
crooks like khar, benazir, Nawaz sharif and their chelas to loot the country 
forever. You want to see change of faces then give land to the tiller and spend
 more on education.

Very very well said.  But i believe Nawaz should have let her do this long
march.  Knowing the kind of people she always roundup they would have gone on a
rampage in Islamabad and this should have been used against her.

In the furture Police should not beat anybody but only Benazir, Jatoi(whom i
saw on CNN in demonstration) and other so called leaders or better kill them 
to stop the rampage of their supporters.  I cannot understand why 
politicians are not shot in the processions and only some poor man is killed.  
Its time to turn the tables so that in the future a poltician should think 20 
times before taking the innocent people to the street.  Lets see how many of
the leaders of democracy are ready to die.  I think somebody wrote that BB was
entering Islamabad with 20,000 supporters.  Shame on her to give such a harsh
interview on CNN if she was only able to round up such a small number of people
from all over Pakistan.  But then democracy is threatend if she is not in power
and 10% becomes no corruption rather a price that people have to pay for
keeping it a democracy otherwise civil martial law is not forgotten.

I want to end this article with a prayer so please join me who knows
Allah-Subhanaoth-allah will listen to one of us :
"O Allah the Almighty please be merciful to all the people in Pakistan.  Please
dont bring those terrible days of 1977 when hundred died only to see that the
people they trusted back stabbed them.  O Allah give death to all the leaders
in Pakistan who are not working for Pakistan and are corrupt.  Please Allah
send us a leader who will make Pakistan a strong and prosper country." (Ameen)
