What dreams may come...

If the long march succeeds and the judiciary is indeed restored, I wonder where we go from there.

Once the people who have no regard for justice themselves (the mian brothers) start fighting for justice and proclaim to sacrifice their lives for the common man from behind a sheet of bullet proof glass, its time to hit the panic button.

Honorary mention for hypocrisy goes to Altaf 'bhai', who you can count upon to come up with a new jackass comment, especially when the nation absolutely doesnt need it. We're all standing on the brink of anarchy and all the fella can come up with is a blinkin' "sindh dharti" comment. Where did that come from, Im still wondering.

I'd also like to condemn the government for its role in creating this mess of things when indeed things could have been handled so much more easily, either one way or the other. But the ultimate one who suffered was the common man, the laborer who lost his daily wages while the nation was embroiled in the high and mighty quest for justice and restoration of judiciary.

I was hopeful when democracy was restored, but that was a very big let down, sure what with all the recession, the huge burden of expectations and the need of time to make an impact it was hard, but even if they didnt pretend to have an inch of something resembling spine, they could at least have been responsible (for instance, how hard is it for all the offices of the govt. to come up with the same answer to a question)

The question that we need to ask now is that does the judiciary reopen cases against the politicians, the very people who fought for them and those who eventually restored them, or do they buckle under the pressure and let the masses down, again. I reckon its going to be the latter, but its one opinion that Id be glad to be wrong of.

I think the Sharifs' put up a great fight and it should be praised. The common labourer, you talk about, fought on the streets, fought like crazy against the police. You have no idea how many lawyers have suffered during this movement, their commitment must be praised too. As for the govt, yes they messed up big time! The judiciary should deal with these cases unbiased and if they don't, our fight will continue!

Cynicism and skepticism are my accumulated wisdom once it comes to politics...:)
