Yesterday I was surfing news channels at lunch break at home and saw the end of a recent interview of AZ by BBC. The portion that I got to hear referred to his party's (PPP) policy not to persecute Mr. Musharraf any further and his ardent desire to hear (after he becomes the President of Pakistan) from his daughter Asifa Bhutto-Zardari:
ZINDA HEY BHUTTO, ZINDA HEY
ZINDA HEY BHUTTO, ZINDA HEY
"Bhutto is alive, she really is (alive)"
I really can't understand the people of this country. May be they have the shortest memory among all nations. But whatever memory they might be having about the corrupting potential of AZ vanishes in a jiffy when AZ utters slogans like this in a public meeting or in the media. Then as if he becomes a God-sent messiah to set things right for this wounded nation.
Unfortunately it seems that AZ might get what he (and US) wants. He and his hunchmen must be laughing at the response he is getting from this foolish nation. He just had to cash the death of Benazir.
I hope this nation wakes up in time before any further damage is done. I hope...
