I don't really see the point of this.
yes, it is something interesting to do, but isn't there more important things to be spending money on?

Punjabi Establishment is against of Sindhi and Baloch people. They don't want any Sindhi or Balochi at Islamabad on high post. In Pakistani everyone has corrupt thinking but unfortunately every time Pakistani media and Punjabi establishment made propaganda against Sindhi politicians and west obeys these propaganda. Now Mr Zardari is on hit list of these propaganda because he is from Sindh. One should ask from punjbai establishment that they did prove any charge againist Zardari, answer is this 'NO'. Punjabi establishment killed Mr Zulifqar Ali Bhutto, Mr Nawab Akbar Bugti etc. One should ask from them.
All Punjabi are not corrupt but Sindhi leaders are corrupt so this is shameful behavior.

It's all about Gwadar. The US needs Gwadar to secure its presence in the rising oil rich part of the world and Zardari will give it to them. Every time I hear them call him president of our nation it makes my stomach turn, while it gives me goosebumps to think of what final card is the Bush government going to throw at us before making its way out. I expect the worse. For all we know the US has been saving Bin Laden for this very day..so that their plundering into the middle east can be justified and they can use fear to help the Republicans win the election all over again. I urge the Americans to rise above fear and be true to their core values, the values that the world once admired them for..the Pakistanis love America. We know Bush is not America. We all need to think about securing energy but lets do it as humans and not barbarians . If the US thinks helping animals like Zardari rule in Pakistan is going to make it easy for them. It will, but only in the short term. In the long term it will leave us all doomed!!!!!!

1. CHURCHILL SPEECH in 1947 at the time of Pakistan Independence – " YOU will see that power go into the hands of rascals, rouges & freebooters" – Sir Winston Churchill.

2. One of the signs of DOOMSDAY will be.
" THAT THE WORSE AMONG YOU WOULD BE YOUR LEADER "

One item, which may have more serious consequences on international and the United States security than Iraq or Afghanistan, is the stationing US missiles and radar systems on Russia’s doorstep, in Poland and in Czech Republic. This would be tantamount of Russia stationing its missiles in Cuba or Venezuela. How would we react to Russia taking such action? Stationing eleven launchers on Russia’s doorstep is provocative, expensive, and counter productive. It would in no way make Europe or the United States any safer.

On the contrary, stationing of our missiles on Russia’s doorstep could provoke Russia to react and reactivate European target list with hundreds of Russian missiles pointing at major European cities. I do not see how this would make Europe any safer. We already see the increase in tensions between the Western nations and Russia, and Russia’s behavior in the Republic of Georgia. In view of our own behavior, can we really blame Russia for theirs? Yet, there is a total absence in our media, in political debates, or where the presidential candidates stand on this important subject. I believe that the American public is either not knowledgeable or not interested on the missile issue. So where is the media, where is CNN, to educate the public? Where are the Gallup pollsters?

I would really like to know. We do not need another arms race or a new cold war. My vote for president will not be based so much on abortion or gay rights, and although those are also important subjects, they would not have impact on our national security, one way or another. My vote will be based on where the candidates stand on the missile issue. The difference in their stand on this subject would mean the difference in more or less secure United States

it is difficult and complex to understand the the current politics of Pakistan

There are lot of allegations on Zardari that is one of the reason why he has chosen his son as the party chief so that the popularity does not fall.

now is will the president of Pakistan and his role as the president is keenly watched by the world more particularly by US .

Nic as you are still in Pakistan again i request you to visit POK ( there are more terrorist training camps than else where in Pakistan ) and report from there.
