The news is everywhere. Suddenly the condemned has become the master and everyone seems to be talking about him. Even the US local media is abuzz with the terrifying news of Zardari taking over the role of Musharraf.
People are fearful and disappointed. I think they should not be. We must let go of our pessimistic sarcastic approach towards hardened and convicted criminals like our present president. After all we elected his party and voted for his men in every city and every province. We gave his party the power to nominate him. We voted for his party even though we knew he was the chairperson. So him becoming the president is a natural and logical consequence of our own actions and therefore we have no reason to be complaining about it at all. If he is a criminal and we know about it now then we also knew about it when we were all lining up to vote for him and his men. I remember the blogsphere being all abuzz in the immediate post election time with whiners proclaiming victory of democracy in our country. I remember the wailing of those who had decided not to vote and I also can not forget the certain tinge of lament in the tone of those who didn't go and vote. Everyone thought it was a big turnaround and those who had not taken part in the elections had committed a grave mistake akin to non-patriotism of highest nature. Now where are those lame-heads and victory marchers? Ah! I know, they are all lamenting on the situation of our country now and standing beside people like me in our ranks.
We are all so very short sighted and jump to unhealthy conclusions so quickly.
Give zardari some time. Give him the benefit of the doubt. In our country you can not be the president unless you are sufficiently corrupt to be the president. So there is nothing alarming in him becoming the president of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. What if ihe cleans up his act now? What if he unites everyone and reconciles all differences? What if he is the one who can look our enemies in the eye and make them feel baffled for once? What if...
If he has increased his rate to fourty percent, as are the news pouring in from the capital, its just because of inflation adjustment and nothing else!
