Monkey business all the way

For the personal sacrifices he has made in striving for the rule of law in Pakistan, I have great respect for Aitzaz Ahsan, but it was disconcerting to see him on TV yesterday repeating ad nauseam that Pervez Musharraf was responsible for the latest turmoil. Well, Pervez Musharraf WAS responsible for a lot of things in the past, but the past is no more. Pervez Musharraf is nobody in the new game. He is a sitting duck--clipped, cornered, waiting to be slaughtered. He has relinquished his army post and has lost the support of the legislative bodies. He is a man sitting high with nothing to support him--his fall is inevitable. Musharraf's political demise is only one assembly-session away where a two-third majority should curb his powers and ultimately remove him from the post of the President. To blame Musharraf for the current mess, which amounts to accusing him for the manhandling incidents of Arbab Rahim and Sher Afgan, is the proverbial red herring--it is nothing but a chance for Mr. Ahsan to squander the goodwill he has gathered.

It is time that the new government own up the mess. The elected leaders who purportedly understand the concepts of 'democracy', 'rule of law', 'justice' must sit down with their uncouth disciples and teach them that these wonderful ideas must be grasped at levels far deeper than glib, parroting slogans.

The fear is that with the monkey business continuing Pervez Musharraf would ultimately, in the course of history, come out to be an 'illustrious' ruler. The perennial irony of Pakistan lies in every vilified government being exonerated through the clownery of the follower.

Shame on you Pakistani political party workers and lawyers!

First Arbab Ghulam Rahim manhandled by PPP workers and now Sher Afgan beaten up by lawyers. Shame on you Pakistani political party workers and lawyers! With this assault on Sher Afghan the so-called lawyers' movement has nosedived into filth. Disgusting! The truth is, there was no lawyers' movement, it was just a mob--a couple of months back the mob was chanting the right slogans, saying things we liked to hear. Peel away that thin veneer of rightspeak and you would find an unruly, savage crowd that never had any respect for rule of law. It is a depressing reality to cope with.

Muslim Chain letter Spammers Galore

Read the following that appeared in my mailbox:

Aslmo alaikum Wa Rahamatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
I pray that this finds you well and in the best of health and spirits. May ALLAH grant you all good and success in this life and the next.

Dear brothers and sisters, It has been brought to my attention that
there will be an awful film appearing soon in America which depicts
our Beloved Prophet (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
as a homosexual, just when we thought these people could not stoop any
lower! Our beloved prophet was one of the greatest men, and this is
just a mockery of his life, we have a responsibility as Muslims to do
something about this... so act now, all you have to do is sign your
names below this email was sent to me by a Christian friend, what are
Muslim people doing about this horrendous thing? Remember Allah SWT is
all knowing and all aware, this is our Deen that is being attacked we
have a responsibility to stop it!!! Please don't just forward it!!
Please copy this message and paste the text in a new e-mail, then add
your name to the list and send it to everyone you know.

When the list you sign reaches 550 names, please send it to: -
homasg@softhome.net
IF WE WORK TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS. Thank you!
