Someone is asking the same questions...

I feel so vindicated that at least one powerful voice asked the very same question I was pondering over yesterday. This person is the former prime minister of Pakistan, Mr. Nawaz Sharif who has said that Mr. Zardari is indeed lying straight off his face when he says that Qasab doesn't belong to Pakistan. In fact, he has slammed the Zardari goverment for cordoning off the entire village of Faridkot and not allowing International Media access to members of Qasab's family.

I used to wonder if India was the worst mockery of the institution of democracy under the sun. After observing the pathetic state of lawlessness and corruption Pakistan is in, I have to admit that in comparison India seems almost utopic. But having said that I will also admit that if we don't watch out and elect people of higher moral and intellectual quality than the Deshmukhs and Mayawatis of our land, we are definitely going to end up like Pakistan with criminals at the helm of our nation, reducing the very concept of a civil state to a joke.
