Drat! Foiled again. Are my ISI sympathies that transparent? And as for being a neocon, well. Anyone who knows anything knows I’m a neocon. Sheesh.

This post by firangi serves a purpose for ISI and the Military regime. Which country is not feudal? We have Gandhiclan,Gowdaclan,thackerayclan,Mk clan,Badal clan etc etc in India,Bandaranikes in ceylon and the two Begums in bangladesh and in Pakistan itslef the choudhry brothers,nawaz brothers who rule Punjab.This Post also serves the Neocons because they can say that it is pakistani army which is serving the Unity and integrity of pakistan with its nukes.
The killing of benazir is not done by this pistol but by a sniper who used a gyro stabilsed high piercing bullet which will not leave any evidence.The area was cleaned by water cannon only because of this and only xray was taken to confirm no fragments remained inside the skull.
She was killed by the Neocon supported ISI only because she was showing to the wrold that there is a constituency in pakistan whcih wants roti/kapda/makan and education and security with honour.They are not blindly anti/american as the suit/tie wallahs.She also showed to the firangi types that though WOMAN she had more courage than Musharaff and nawaz and Imran, she had more following in FATA,NWFP,Punjab,Baloachistan and ofcourse Sind than any of the local CHIEFTAINS. Though Shia she had more sunni followers than sunni maulvies.She commanded loyalty of the whole nation and the army generals who were getting american dole were threatened by her popularity inspite of her pro american and pro indian remarks. So they have to assasinate a woman and as an Indian who wishes for close friendship with pakistan i mourn her loss along with right thinking pakistanies.

It is absolutely shocking that it can even be suggested that military is less corrupt. Where are you guys living? wake up. this ‘civilian politician are corrupt’ narrative is so exposed after Dr Ayesha Siddiqa’s book. I find this suggestion that military is less corrup outrageous.

I loved the prose but perhaps not the sentiment running thru. Elected leaders can and are often venal. This is so in neighboring India, Bangladesh, Egypt, Turkey, Malaysia and elsewhere. Many politicians in the US have been exposed for corruption in recent times. Probity and integrity in public life take time, practice and vigilance as does democracy.

The military mullocracy is perhaps less corrupt but they have no mandate to rule. I suspect this wringing of hands over her venality is what the generals love about the Pakistani intelligentsia.
