Democracy is all about individuals trying to push their own agenda. Once people get sick of them, they are thrown out and the new ones come in. This is a cycle that has to be followed until it matures. Only then can we get somewhere. And no, we don't need a coup. Keep writing, bro... Just a small point.

Only then can we get somewhere. And no, we don’t need a coup.

Keep writing, bro…

We need more people not just looking into it but contributing towards an attempt to a change. Unfortunately not many people go beyond "drawing room politics" and it is moreover an "in thing" or at times just "fashionable to do. Ironically it ends there and they return to being part of the mechanism that has hurt us dearly over the years. We need not just write about it, but in our day to day livess we need to motivate people, urge them to join the cause. It will not happen over night, and nor does anything, but its a process that one needs to attend to and nurture consistently. Our job doesn;t end there. We live amidst people who are being consumed by despotism, and yet live in denial, wearing a smile and pretending all is well. We need to urge them to urge others as well. Come to think of it, its fairly simple. We all need to draw strength from each other. Those who have taken the first step and admitted the faults lie with us as a nation choosing such cancerous elements to head the table, should contribute not just with our pieces, but also motivate and encourage others to do the same. Ohterwise our work would be no different to the addresses we see today on TV with jittering / stammering heads, asking the nation not to fear, as they are not afraid. They contradict it not just with the syammering but when they ask the world to help the save Pakistan. Ironic is not the fact they contradict their claim, but it is our choosing to ignore it even when we hear it, witness it and live it. So I urge you to join hand, unite and spread the word. We need people, our own people, and us representing eachother, irrespective of the forum. These hired aides to someone else's cause would never be able to rescue us. Ther are slaves to the already enslaved super power claimants. My message is fairly simple. "We dont need them, they need us and our ignorance for them to flourish. We are not a part of a party, or a race, ethnicity, caste, creed or religion. We are the Nation of Pakistan". http://www.pak-times.com/2008/09/27/nation-of-pakistan-a-message-to-my-country-men/ Thank you for going through my article and making a mention of it here.
