No one can topple Musharraf?

The BBC did an assessment about as to who are the likely candidates within the military and intelligence services who if they could they would be able get rid (president) General Musharraf - the BBC's analysis concluded that there really was no one.
Despite the second martial law (so called emergency) by this bastard General Musharraf - disturbances in the country and he is completely unable to do anything about them; the local media however shut down does not mean the reports of events are not being reported - the shortest route for the world to know what is happening in Pakistan is through India and everyone then the entire world finds out.
The general has made a mess of practically everything. He does not know what he should do about the myriad problems which exist, because he never really intended to govern the country, he never had an agenda as to how to make things happen. All his time has been spent enjoying himself and granting favours to his cronies. He resorted to criminal neglect of the country. He paid attention to ensure that no one should be able get rid of him at any cost.
Eventually when the pressure grew that he should have an election, he tried his level best to sabotage it, which meant forcing him to get involved in the matters of the state and that is when things started deteriorating rapidly because he never had any desire or even the inclination to actually work. Every decision he made since then in a single year has led to one huge mistake after another. Finally when he realised he could not anything right, he imposed martial law again. Has attempted to destroy the judiciary and the media.
In his speech when he announced martial law, he quoted Abraham Lincoln. He completely forgot that Lincoln was elected to the position of president. The country was fighting a civil war, the disturbances and chaos in Pakistan cannot be compared to that terrible state of affairs. Here the Pakistan military is fighting the people it has sworn to protect. Finally Lincoln was assassinated - does Musharraf want that to happen to him - it most probably is going to be that.
As for General Musharraf's cronies in the military and the intelligence services, may themselves may not do anything - but if the unrest amongst their subordinates spreads they would be forced to something in order maintain discipline and control to whom they give orders to, otherwise everyone General Musharraf depends on for his survival will also be engulfed in a terrible mutiny, the likes Pakistan has never known.
The increasing hatred of the military is a matter tremendous dishonour. On the one had if the military wants to salvage the little bit respect it has, it will have to make its move against General Musharra. On the other, the massive civilian unrest may spawn a whole bunch of suicide bombers ready get rid as many soldiers and along with them General Musharraf too. The most common sentiment is 'kill our soldiers wherever you see them'. When access to General Musharraf becomes impossible the military which is apparently loyal to him will end up hating him because they are becoming the target of civilian wrath.

The blessed and the cursed

The only way to get a really grand job is to be in the right place at the right time. Hardwork, talent, ability and intelligence means nothing. All that you learnt at you university or college is worthless. Consider a man working his butt off for years in a company, suddenly finds out the companies boss has been jailed for not paying taxes. The company winds up and the hardworking man ends on the street. He put in his life in the company – now his pension has gone and he is an old man with no chance getting another job. Lots of people try to be become movie stars end up they are too ugly, their voice is terrible and they just simply stupid – it is all matter of being bad luck. Others regardless of how they look get great part in some movie and end up acting in a film which makes lots of money. A good luck also accounts for the fact that some people can get away with mass murder and never be held accountable for their crimes and some one get just kill one person and be jailed for life ...

Dr Salman Shah is insane

The price of petrol has been increased 7 times and the country's Finance Adviser says it will not affect the economy. I do not know about the economy but I am paying more and more for petrol and my salary has not increased, it is not enough one day petrol will eventually become as expensive as gold or more. Its people like Dr. Salman Shah who do not announce anything during the budget announcement, later start telling the people that everything is going to be more expensive later at the same time say it will not make any difference to the economy. Dr. Salman Shah says this because he does not have to pay for the petrol of his limousine - it is free for him Why should he not drive around in his limousine and pay for petrol from his own pocket instead on relying on the government. The day he starts doing that he will realise what he has done, he will scream. The price of petrol is high because it has 300 per cent taxes on it. If those taxes are removed the petrol would be m...

Mysterious kidnappings

Young students in their twenties are being kidnapped from Karachi and other cities. Though reports about these are kept secret, but with the frequency they are taking place, there is bound to be a leak  and people eventually get to know about this. But the question is who responsible and why is it happening. There are no clear answers. But the people who get away by committing such crimes are obviously are very highly placed, they are virtually above the law. No one can arrest them, even though the evidence is overwhelmingly against them. This is a new way to terrorise the people, it simply boils down to this. If the police and other law enforcement organisations are unable to prevent crime, the people would be forced to take up arms against those who murder, kidnap and steal. Whatever the reasons for the kidnapping, is irrelevant, the people protecting the kidnappers will face the wrath of the people. No court, no judge is going to prosecute these criminals. There is a limit t...
