Last week, many Pakistanis celebrated the ‘change’ that the American people brought to their country by voting a black man to allegedly, the most powerful office in the world, the office of the President of the United States of America. For the Americans, they are happy because they elected the better man. But what about us? What about the change we brought upon ourselves, ten months ago? Should we be happy?
And what about the fact that the better man of America wants to use any and all means to ‘put an end to terrorism’, even if it means cross-border raids into Pakistan without permission? So far only innocent civilians have died from that. And our ten-month old ‘change’ refuses to defend us. Moreover, he wants to reduce Pakistan’s army to a glorified police force. Making comments like “Pakistan doesn’t need a big army!”. Who the bloody f**k is he to decide whether we need an army or not? Why not reduce the Indian army? Hell, they are the ones wreaking havoc in Kashmir!
It’s high-time Pakistanis knocked some sense into their damn heads. Or I’ll keep on praying for another ‘dictatorship’. And a brutal one this time!

Oh god!! Can’t something good just happen for a change?!
I’m praying for it!
Well, then I’m praying your prayers get answered soon!
the americans should be celebrating, they chose someone who is definitely not as dumb as bush….and we should be celebrating too, we chose the most corrupt person in the country as our president, isnt that quite an achievement?
And man, i like your blog, its quite interesting, esp the islamic stuff
Thanks.
And we are absolute over-achievers!
I heard many Pakistanis being happy on the election of Obama. I really don’t see the point esp. when he was more aggressive towards Pakistan in his pre-election debates with McCain. And then it was US elections, none of our business!
There was this statement by Sherry Rehman that I read in a newspaper that the “election of Obama will strengthen democracy in USA” … what was she thinking?!
And btw, I’m all for dictatorship in Pakistan!
Exactly my point. And maybe, we should start a dictatorship blog!
Pardon me …. but the Or I’ll keep on praying for another ‘dictatorship’. And a brutal one this time! made me go into fits of laughter ~
And why, if I may ask?
I think this is a good time o start a dictatorship blog
any by the way which kind of democracy we have?
Today, someone asked me that whether you need power to vote or ’sasta aata’ (cheaper wheat)?
The whole problem is nobody has the time to write on the dictatorship blog.
Do you experience any problems on visiting my site?
If I spam your comments section, what happens?
How do you know I’m facing spam problems?
Well, it depends on how you spam…
LOL! I didn’t know you were facing spam problems, but now I do!
And well I just spammed your comments section by talking about something not related to your post
Well, that won’t be counted as spam unless you are leaving links to other pages on my blog. And then the Akismet plugin will block your comments and I would have to rescue you from the comment trash bin.
BTW, I’m facing a more serious kind of spam problem.
The way you said it makes it sound like an adventure or something!
Really, but the plugin is blocking it right?
Yep, the plugin is pretty effective against comment spam.
So, cool then!
Yep, it has caught over 4000 spam comments in a year.
That’s WAYYYYYY too much spam!!!!!!! Must be annoying!!!!
Yes it is, but Akismet catches and separates it.
Ahan
True that the present setup is not doing little nothing to stop US incursions. But still, try to find some solace in the fact that ever since the “change” happened to us, the government has stopped owning US attacks as their own acts like before.
Not *that* bad for a change, isn’t it?
Well, if you count in the economy, the worsened crises and other stuff, you wouldn’t think that way. And the previous government did not own the attacks, they were condemned too. But the frequency of attacks wasn’t as much as it is today.
Welcome to my blog!
I know for myself that I pretty much belong to the camp of antagonists of this govt. But still it will be extremely hard for me to swallow that all the troubles we find ourselves in today were bungled out of the blue after feb 2008.
And it is certainly a revelation for me that Mush govt. had condemned US attacks inside pakistan. If you have time, can you show or recall me some place where they condemned it when US drones attacked a madrassa killing 80 civilians exactly the day when government was going to finalize truce?
Anyhow, thanks for the warm welcome
I must accept defeat Brickwall, I am too lazy to search that. I used to do it when Mush was still in office but now I’ve stopped. So okay, Mush was a bad boy!
Oh c’mon, I wasn’t debating with you. It was just an exchange of thoughts, at least on my part. So even though you have conceded the defeat, no I don’t win
Yep, Pakistan still loses. But I do believe that Pakistan was better under Musharraf.
