Mr. Zardari was Mr. 10%, Now he will be Mr. 100%. he will not hesitate to do any thing to gain his personal fortune. he can not be trusted. It is sad to know, although Pakitanis know well about both major parties ( PPP and PML-N ), but still enjoy support of mass. probably because not much alternatives. These parties do not have democracy within themselves and want to have democracy in country. If there is democracy, then leadership would have been to much better people, who may not belong to previledged class. I wish results to be good, but hardly see any good coming.

Nikos Retsos, River Grove, Illinois — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 17:34:05 GMT

Asif Ali Zardari will be a default president like Lyndon Johnson after the assassination of Jack Kennedy. And as Johnson bragged that "the North Vietnamese will be beaten on the battlefield," Zardari echoes the same hard line against the Taliban with the blessing of the U.S. Lyndon Johnson lost the war in Vietnam because he bombed civilians in Hanoi to break the Vietnamese morale. Similarly, Zardari has pledged to allow the U.S. to bomb Pakistani villages and kill civilians needlessly in return of American support for becoming president of Pakistan. And as the Pakistani hatred for the continuous U.S. killing of civilians grow into
a boiling point, Zardari's future is expected to become turbulent and uncertain.

Zardari has now the support of his late wife PPP party, but he was not elected. He inherited the party
leadership, but he also has inherited the Mr. 10% crook title, as well as the jack of all trades political insider who claimed to be mentally unfit to stand trial for corruption, but now claims to be fit to be president. Worse yet, the Army doesn't like him, and he won't have control of the army because he is not one of their own -like Pervez Musharraf was.

Finally, if he tries to solidify his position by becoming closer to the U.S., he would certainly alienate more Pakistanis as Musharraf did.

Sure, Zardari is about to find himself in a grandeur of the Pakistani political establishment that he could have never imagined. But I am tempted to believe that he is walking into a trap, and that he would fail miserably. He is too selfish to be able to hold a turbulent country together, and the Pakistanis will be watching him closely because of his undistinguished past. Nikos Retsos, retired academic.

OK, so maybe he is a crook, and that is bad on its own. I admit I'm no expert, but it seems to me that the larger concern is that we have a fellow here who has been diagnosed with DIMENSIA and would have access to and control of nuclear weapons. There's no telling what he might do.

Pakistan is not a real country; it is a hodgepodge of ethnic and language groups and wild tribes. The empty suits in Islamabad may foam at the mouth and howl at the moon when US troops kill Taliban taking refuge in Pakistan, whining about the violation of their sacred sovereignty, but is a country sovereign when it does not control every square inch of its territory, when is has to kowtow to militias? Let's deal separately with the Pushtuns, Baluchis and Hind.

Unfortunately we find ourselves in a vicious cycle. The Pakistani's that leave Pakistan to go to countries such the USA, UK, Canada, Middle East, etc. dont care for Pakistan's failure and always insist "i give up hope in Pakistan" Yet, i ask ourselves, me included, what support would we offer if Pakistan legitimately wanted to become an elitist democracy like that of the U.S. ? The truth is, there is too much corruption and no Pakistani's abroad want to get their hands dirty. All the crooks and impoverished people with good hearts get stuck in Pakistan with these people because the smartest always leave and never give back. God Help Pakistan.

Abdul Nasir, China — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 04:47:46 GMT

I wonder, a VAST majority of Pakistanis HATE Zardari because he is for sure one of the most corrupt people in Pakistan and yet he has been dubbed as the Saviour of Pakistan in almost EVERY news channel and newspaper across the country. How can everyone simply turn a blind eye on everything he or even Nawaz Sharif did with Pakistan. It is so disappointing and heart breaking. I wish the people wakeup before its too late.

He has full US backing, he has been receiving so-called "social calls" from Zalmay Khalilzad, he has been openly going back on his promises/deals for very obvious reasons, he and his party members have been openly saying that there is no shame in going back on agreements as it is all part of politics, and yet he is being praised for all his "efforts" for bringing about "democracy" in Pakistan.

If he thinks he has the right to be the President, he should face all charges agasint him in a fair court of law, get his name cleared thourgh trial (not backdoor deals) and then nominate himself for Presidency.

How can someone be so curropt like all our politicians (Nawaz Sharif, Zardari, Chaudhris etc.) How can someone be so hungry for money that they can sell off their country, dignity, honor, pride!!

May Allah help and guide us all, Aamin !!

How can a man convicted of corruption, extortion, and self reported dementia lead a country that is sinking into economic devastation? The poor are taxed to the point that they are dying of hunger and disease while Zardari and his handful of cronies steal that money to pay for their BMWs and Armani suits. Asif Zardari is gaining power unlawfully and I am afraid no force in Pakistan can stop him. We are seeing before our eyes a villain taking control of a country's treasury and making it his own bank account, and its nuclear arsenal as his personal sword. What will stop him from selling nuclear weapons for cash that he can pocket?

Ramesh Manghirmalani — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 05:28:13 GMT

Pakistan is hardly the failed state that many in the Western world envisioned it would become half a century ago. But, without deep structural and political reform, the country will not be able to pull itself out of its current, multidimensional crisis.I think most people are talking nonsense about President in waiting Mr. Asif Ali Zaradari, there is no proof, on the contrary corruption is from Military side, During Musharraf regime US Dollars 3.7 Billion are un accounted for as per GAO of US. In order for changes to be possible, the country needs to unite as never before. Nawaz Sharif is far from being honest and he is playing games with People of Pakistan and PPP.It remains clear whether the military is responsible for Pakistan’s history of failed democracy. Military apologists make the argument that the military only intervened when it was necessary to defend the country from an internal enemy. General Musharraf, they would claim, seized power yes, but reluctantly. But after seven years of military rule, Musharraf has failed to deliver on his promises, and the people are growing tired of his leadership. It is true that the previous civilian leaderships performed badly within Pakistan. Yet, the intervention of the military has stunted the growth of the political system again and again, and cast a long shadow over politics.Look at India's progress, it has International Air Forces bases

Many political parties contribute their existence to the intelligence services of the military, believing it to be indispensable for the establishment and continuation of political parties in the country. Yet, the military only contributes to the corruption of Pakistan’s political parties, which even during the so-called civilian period (1988-1999) failed to follow democratic norms, instead giving into authoritarian impulses, and personal benefit.

And as the people of Pakistan grow increasingly disenchanted with their government and its supposed democracy, the question as to whether any meaningful democratization can take hold in Pakistan is on everyone’s minds. I conclusion Pakistan will sooner or later break into two to three pieces

It's a shame. I feel for the poor people of Pakistan who are in their worst misery in the history of Pakistan. The leaders don't give a rat's rear what the people go through, all they care about is themselves. Fill up your pockets after pockets as much as thay can, even if they have to put extra
pockets in their wardrobes. Zardari will snatch the very last penny out of the poors in order to add to his already billions of corrupt and illegal money. How the elected representative could be so dumb and stupid that they choose him instead of some one else. Why is he so scared to reappoint the Chief justice. Because he very well knows taht he will lose his power and presidency if he is reappointed as the Chief Justice. It's really scarry, he is the corrupt president of a nuclear power. If some pays him a dime or a nickel, he won't hesitate selling them. God bless our poor country.

He is not suffering from Dementia it is the people who voted for him who are.

So if the courts couldn't find him guilty then I think the people should stop crying foul. I am no fan of the guy but I acknowledge that he is not becoming a president by holding a gun to anyone's head. He is coming through a democratic process. So I would say to his critics, tough luck.

Has Pakistan ever been serious about proper governance? Even its founder, Md.Ali Jinnah, who was unislamic to the boot except when it came to the idea of forming an islamic country from what would have been a unified and prosperous India with all religions living in harmony, regretted on his deathbed that he made a mistake carving this sloppy joe of a country. It is unfortunate that pakistanis never received the trust and leadership from the very people they tried to look upto. Everytime the country has an opportunity to rise out of the quagmire, they inadvertently drag themselves down further. Agreed that politics is the last resort for a scoundrel to seek, there is no better time for Zardari to seek forgiveness for his 10% and other crimes than now by rising above petty politics and work to get the country on the much needed social reform track.

How quickly they forget what the Bhuttos and the Sharifs had done to the country. The ruled Pakistan like it ws their God given domain. If the spineless media in Pakistan grows some guts and exposes (with validity) all that these clowns have done and how they have accumulated their wealth and if the not to innocent (and equally if not more) corrupt judiciary would take up cases against these power mongers, then Pakistan may stand a chance to survive. Untill then I see no hope of Pakistan becoming anything more than what it is today-A MISERABLY FAILED STATE(if you choose to call it so).

If Zardari was corrupt why wasn't he convicted even after seven years behind bars. The worst financial crime doesn't carry that high of a penalty. Fact is, every Pakistani is corrupt, whether cheating in academic exams, supporting dictators, acting racist toward other ethnicities and religions or selling counterfeit items.

The only possibility which Pakistanis can hope and pray for is the realization that Zardari gets that the only way he can survive in the leadership role he has got into by the void created by his wife Bhutto,
and also to wash his past corruption as Mr. 10%, is
to cut out corruption with an iron hand he now has, and to do all that is within his power to bring order to Pakistan, by constructive use his sharp mind and good skills for the benefit of Pakistan instead of destructively using to benefit himself, in this great opportunity he has got to come out as a clean leader.

The media should be ashamed of themselves for not showing people the real face of zardari to the nation who has forgotten the crimes done by this man.

What Pakistan needs is a revolution, and there is no one at this time who can start it. 61 years and this is what becomes of a country who deserve better than this. All the sacrifices that people made over the years for this country mean nothing now. Is there any hope? I think not!

No doubt - Zardari is a croked fellow. He has multple traps in the road ahead. Support of USA, which helped him to grab power - As he secured the gole ( throne of Pakistan ), he can denounce USA easily. Even though he get money from USA , he might falsify USA in anti - terrism war. He has to work hand in hand with religous hard liners in Pakistan for his survival. That will create a full blown terrism network in the world. Pakistanies are all around the world not like Afghnistan. Never ever Zardari will reduce the power of President. He will be next Dictator. Instead of Mushrif, Zarafi does not have proper education and vison for Pakistan. Neighbouring India can expect more trouble from Pakistan, to cover up the internal issues in Pakistan. I feel so sorry for common man in Pakistan and those who struggle in Middle East for their loved ones betterment. Such a person might have even involved in the death of his own wife for his easy entry in Pakistan politics. May Allaha bless Pakistan.

Shahzad — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 04:06:22 GMT

Back in 1991, I won Cambridge commonwealth Scholarship from Pakistan to complete my Doctorate (PhD) Degree at Cambridge University.

Zardari had taken charge for Pakistan's overseas Investments at that time. Within few months joining my PhD program at Cambridge University, I was notified by Pakistan's Embassy in London that I have to go back and abandoned my studies – Scholarship funds have been abolished. Zardari was behind all this corruption. I packed up my bags and returned Pakistan with sadness all over me. Several others (7) were affected as well.

Almost 17 years have passed – I have nothing but hate for this person. Not because Zardari is dishonest and corrupt individually but because he is selfish to an extent where he WILL NOT spare anyone in this country to gain personal interests. At this point where he has been chosen as the President of the nation – I wish to close my eyes like a rabbit and wait for the wolf to eat me …..

An hypo-crate, master of feudalism, one "Real politician" Mr. Asif zardari that is how we have seen him in the last couple of months. He leading the PPP Government in Pakistan has completely failed in fulfilling the commitments of his party charter. One of the worst inflation is prevailing in Pakistan, the hand to mouth nation is even deprived of protesting against the "over whelming" attitudes of government party. The country's entire political department is filled with culprits and corrupted faces. No neutral, educated and reformer minded person is likely to be available. Its an absolutely chaos situation that leads to bitter social conditions in Pakistan.. Being little optimistic would only be a little less pessimistic. The sufferings of billions are sounded like blowing wind yet no one is there to even bother about that.. The 800 million rupees is being spend on above 500 members of National Assembly annualy. Why the people who had already enough for several generation are getting government quotas and why not these so called elected assembly members donate all of their luxuries back to the people from whom they are taking? The better is yet to come for the nation and worst is still to bear more....

Such a crook he was, he looted the country when he was not in power, why will he spare the country now. I feel so sad for Pakistan and i am so mad at those who let him in.

Hey,
The world will watching every step he takes. He knows that he is being monitored with great suspicion by everyone around him, the local media and his enemies. Lets see if we can live up to the expectation of being crooked to the core or a changed person ?

He has taken over over the legacy of the Bhutto name and Pakistani's have elected him and the party he has inherited after Benazir's death.

I think he should be given a chance. He knows that there is a ruthless army who would throw him out of the palace if he takes a couple of mis-steps.

Contrary to the belief but post Musharraf Pakistan is very liberal and with a open and fee media. This media which was allowed to thrive under Musharraf became very ruthless even to Musharraf. With 38 local television channels pouncing on every controversial move he made. They destroyed Musharraf and they will do the same to President Zardari.

This media will be listening and monitoring every move he makes. I will watching him very very closely ! I have a blog to write !
Lets watch the show !

I am amazed, how much all of you care for Pakistan. Most of you live abroad and u know nothing about whats going on here. You liked Musharaf's face so u ignored his mistakes, you don't like Zardari's face so ur reminding all his cases. People of Pakistan has elected PPP (yes they did mistake) but they have done it. No one has right to criticize unless they bloody go and vote. When there is election, ppl like you sleep at home and don't go and vote because you ppl dont like to stand there and wait for your turn to come to polling. So if you ppl dont vote, why do you bloody criticize when party like ppp wins ? and now when ppp is in govt. They have right to choose their president according to the bloody constitution of 1973. So take it easy, next time go and vote instead of seating in a drawing room and watching geo tv.

Muhammad — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 01:34:07 GMT

Pakistan is not suffering because of politicians, its facing problem because of elite class , who stay in USA, CANADA, UK, Saudi etc and they criticise everything from there. They pretend to love the country and start talking about it and praying for it, but they never ever want to come and live here. And do something for the country. When people will start thinking in a positive way instead of celebrating the problems, everything will be good and we will have a good leader. We don't even vote while pretending that, there will be rigging in election and then we talk criticise our politicians ? We are responsible for everything. And We will be the one to take Pakistan on track. Since 1947 world has tried to desablize the country but they have failed and We the youth will never let that happen. No matter who leads the country, no matter what problem we have. Nothing will happen. We are believers and we will take Pakistan out of all dangers. Long live Pakistan.

Message: Change yourself and do something good, others are doing bad, because you are not doing any good. So think of your self instead of criticizing others.

Pakistan is the only nation which have identity as the peaceful nation because its people have unity amongst themselves.Now,you are shocked that how can i say that pakistan is peaceful nation when there is terorist in its northern areas.That people are not the terorists,but they are victims of U.S.A.When nato fired missile on their homes and kills their family parents,children and their beloved relatives,will they not fight against nato.Actually i think America is the cruel nation because why did it attack iraq when they knew that iraq was not involved in 9/11.

It is surprising that in the last six months or so, Mr. Zardari hardly feels interested in finding out who killed Benazir Bhutto. Not just him, nobody in the Pakistan Peoples Party wants to know what happened on Dec 27. They are probably too busy pleasing their new boss and planning on a third time 'loot and plunder' of the country.

The sad part is that people of pAKISTAN (ESPECIALLY PPP VOTERS) simply do not see or understand what their leaders do to the wealth of the country.

Well, Pakistan had been in chaos since its formation and it will remain so for forseeable future. Every country has to have a reason to exist, ie the well being of its people. It can not exist to oppose another country, in this case India. The only line that unites all pakistanis is anti-India. The day Pakistan gets out of its India rivalry and broker peace with India and its western neighbour, it will improve its trade and wealth creation. That will help reduce poverty and make Pakistan stronger. Failure to do so by any leadership will only take Pakistan closer to further chaos and divisions. Mushraf atleast had a tight control over the millitants, ISI and the Military. A civilian president wont have either and worse still, is also subject to the wageries of popular power shifts. Its a tight rope walk for anyone and no one for sure would like to have Zardari's job.

Why would the high court announce that he has dementia if they knew it was an excuse to delay facing charges. Why would they publicly announce it at all. If they really did recieve such documents they would have kept it quite whether they decided to believe it or not. Clearly this is just normal political slander.
