Now I understand that the 'thunder storm and earth quake' were the indications that something is going to be wrong.

this is so embarrassing...of all the stupid decisions

i give up on pakistan

of all the millions of people living in that country, this is what they continually come up with?

wow...

~TaNhAyAaN~

^ People of Pakistan did not vote in this election, their so-called representatives did.

I wonder if Zardari, in trying to be a hero, would reinstate the judiciary .. maybe at least something good would come out of this?

Raindance

The moral of this victory is;

No matter how many times you toss it it land on its head, although we all knew that two sides of this coin are the same.

714

i meant in a pool of millions of people, this is the only thing they could come up with

they continue to pick and repick corrupt, discarded, or both people to rule the country...watch in a few years they'll bring musharraf back to run...i mean a couple times with nawaz, a couple times around with bhutto, now this...why not do it again?

ridiculous

~TaNhAyAaN~

Zardari nominated himself, what could people do?

I get the frustration, but it's not fair to blame everything on people when they rarely get the chance to decide anything for themselves.

In view of the present state of affaires, I hope and speculate some thing good will happen
from this outcome.
Prseident Zardari (President of Pakistan has limited powers to constitute changes or abrupt aieen as was possible in the past) later will be on parliament agenda asap.

On the contrary I'm worried about PM Yousuf Raza Gilani who seems weak and less experienced to run portfolios on International affaires surrounding Pakistan.
