I just returned from annual vacation in Pakistan. During that time the Mumbai carnage took place. The Indians placed the blame very conveniently on Pakistan without explaining their own intelligence failure and lack of security arrangements. That is despite the fact that those terrorists had been staying quite comfortably within the same hotels for about a week. But the real point was the response by our so-called leaders. Those at the helm of affairs of our country went numb, thoughtless and speechless for a while. As if they were panicked. Then all of a sudden they just came out with such a response that was unbecoming of any true patriot. Whatever national dignity we had left soon fizzled away. And the Indians must have enjoyed pressing our throat with her feet while we had been prostrating and lying helplessly as a scared animal!! It was a relief that at least someone thought of looking into the eyes of the Indians (as an after-thought). Yes, it was really a relief. What else can the ordinary Pakistani do? If we have crooks like Zardari and Rehman Malik as our rulers, this has to be expected.
I really hope that this present PPP leadership really leads to its own downfall very soon so that someone even a little better (if not very much better) takes over!!
