im not to sure if the polititians active in the country today would survive 
for long if the democratic process is given a chance. the tragedy of pak 
has been the marshal laws that come on after every two elections. They 
disrupt the junk filtering process that is a property of democracy.

secondly, the people need to cool down a bit and stop getting emotional at 
every lie that comes out of a polititians mouth
