All thanks to P.Musharraf.

I wonder when in future history Pakistan will ever again see such fast track development.

All thanks to P.Musharraf.

Indeed....

Pakistan's per capita GDP went from $1000 to $2000, while Musharraf's own accounts went from a paltry 80,000rs a month salary to a 100 million dollars worth of cash. Nice 'fast track development'

You know what, Batman, it's not Zardari, Bhutto, Nawaz Sharif, Mullahs, Taliban or Imran Khan who scare me. It's educated people like you, vouching for dictators, who do.

I am sorry, but by making your post, you have done injustice to your username.
