Signs of Demise?
If there is one thing commendable about the American nation it is their ability to call a spade a spade.
Most recently I came across two movies which is showing the demise of American life in general. The movies were 'The valley of Elah' and 'No Country for Old Men'. Both movies depicted the demise and the moral degeneration of the American society and more importantly the realization of the fact that they are helpless.
In one of the movies towards the end, the main character is said to host the American flag upside down, which is an international sign of calling for help when the host nation has no clue of how to fix their problems.
I hope that they realize soon that 'Shariah is the answer'.
Hank takes the flag to the school, where he flies it upside down; a sign that everything is not all-right and the country is in distress (presumably regarding the Iraq war or the care of soldiers returning from combat). He duct tapes the ropes of the flag staff and instructs the schools custodian to leave it like that, even at night ...

Zardari in Dilemma
Zardari's PPP (not Bhutto's PPP anymore) are sitting on top with 87 seats in Pakistan's recent elections 2008. These seats are not enough to make a government in the center. For that he would have to make a coalition with his currently close ally Nawaz Sharif.
Nawaz Sharif is demanding 'restoration' of judiciary, which would result in returning of CJ Iftikhar. Zardari is demanding 'independence' of judiciary, which basically does not mean anything and is just a slogan which effectively means that CJ Iftikhar is not restored. If Zardari changes his stance to 'restoration' then he risks the NRO being taken back and nullified by the CJ and re-opening of all charges and cases of corruption against him. Meanwhile Aitezaz Ahsan of PPP who has recently rose higher in stature than Zardari has announced a long march on 9th of March if the Judiciary is not restored. This can result in a split in PPP as well.
Now what will be Zardari's move? Would he be able to convince Nawaz Sharif to let go of his stance of 'restoration'? Would he able to make government without PML(N)?
Meanwhile Musharraf's Rawalpindi accountability court has announced postponement of Zardari's cases till 21st of March. Cases which Zardari is contesting that, with NRO, are nullified. So Musharraf seems to have given Zardari till 21st to make the decision.

So will Zardari join Musharraf and keep NRO intact? Will he join Nawaz Sharif and throw NRO out of the window and face corruption charges? This is Zardari's dilemma, lets see what happens now.
The Perfect Party
Whenever we as a nation argue about politics we are clear about one thing. There is no perfect political party in Pakistan. Every party has something or other wrong with them. Which would be the perfect party? I have a few points in my mind which would make me label that party as 'perfect'.
1. The party is not secular.
2. The party demands Shariah or Islamic Law as the law of Pakistan.
3. The party has a clear vision and step by steps of how they plan to implement Shariah in Pakistan. MMA has Shariah in their mandate, but no clear vision as to how they intend to implement Shariah.
4. The party leadership choses justice not only for the nation but also for themselves.
5. The party which promises to make elections cheaper and hence allowing common man to stand in elections.
6. The party which lets go of highly priced land and houses and asks its President and Prime Minister and other Ministers to live in cheaper accomodation.
7. The party which asks its ministers to let go of luxuries and live their lives as a common man in Pakistan does.
8. The party which connects the nation with its leaders through e-mails, faxes, websites, phone, media etc.
9. The party which liberates the women of Pakistan not through Sham 'Women Protection Bills' but by giving them jobs, education (both Islamic and Modern). By giving them rights, so that no man dares to abuse his wife, sister, daughter or mother.

Elections 2008
Elections 2008 are over and PPP has emerged with most number of seats but far below in terms of formation of government.
Whoever forms government I wish that missing people return to their homes, Law and Order return to Pakistan, Pakistan stops support in War on Terror, Militancy and bomb blasts in Pakistan end, Judiciary becomes independent and we move closer towards implementing Shariah in our national life.
In the current lot I would categorize all parties as 'evil' and the nation has to chose the lesser of the evils.
