1. General Musharraf used to be a brave and patriotic soldier, but the careless use of chocolate colored American rice condiment has affected him badly. His courage index is so low that he can not admit his mistakes and his patriotism has become so diluted that he is unable to make a sacrifice for the country and nation he must still be loving passionately. Maybe, the use of desi halva can help him, but it should be left to his wife.
2. The pitiable state of Pakistn's deposed judiciary is the result of their own doings. Had they not transgressed their limits by endorsing political demands and follies of ambitious generals they would not be sorry today. An Urdu saying means that if you feed milk to a snake, you are bound to be bitten.
3. The judges who have taken oath of allegiance to the Chief of Army Staff are no longer part of the judicial system. They should be sent to army barrcks and should be paid from army funds.

To Jasmeen
Dear Jasmeen,
I watched the concluding part of your program last night. I shall be brief as I have other things to do.
There is certainly a link between terrorism in Pakistan and brothels. It is my observation that the feeling of erosion of cherished values drives one to utter desperation, suicidal streak and sadism -- the mixture being called terrorism. Examples can be found in Europe and America of the 60's and Far East.
According to latest surveys there are upto 15000 male and female prostitutes in Karachi alone, many of them HIV infected.
Your contention that the high office of president should not be denigrated is absolutely agreeable. So is the case with the high offices of prime minister and chief justice.
Unfortunately, president Musharraf rose to power by disgracing the high office of prime minister and has continued his position by disrupting and bringing to disrepute the entire judiciary of Pakistan.
President Musharraf had completely aligned himself with a certain political party and severely attacked the others.
Now that the political parties that he denigrated have obtained a popular mandate, he should show loyalty to his chosen party and make a personal sacrifice for the sake of the nation by stepping down gracefully. If he agrees to work with the new political forces, it would be called political prostitution by some. Politics and soldiery, like love and religion, are all about undivided loyalty.
The reason why many sensible people like myself supported him in the past is that he seemed to be the only choice to maintain stability in the country. Recent events have shown that the fear does not exist anymore. Hence president Musharraf has become dispensable.
You are welcome to continue the argument.
