FATIMA AND BILAWAL should lead the PPP if only Bhuttos has to do it. In 1967, the ppp was founded by talented people from all walks of life-the civil society, but fortunatly or unfortunatly party was headed by a feudal Z.A. Bhutto who was master of selling dreams to poor and oppressed people of the country. Poor and lower middle class played a role of worker for the party and organised it all over the country to grass root level. Later on all situation changed in 1977 when oppresser of the society, deudals were given way in the party and workers were ignored. Later on Z.A.Bhutto had paid a big price of his love for poors and was hanged by a general on instruction from other super powers. His young daughter replaced her gradually because of her talents of selling dreams like his father. She could not do any thing for oppressed people due to control democracy but his colleagues made hell of money and influence while in power. After military take over 1n 1999, she left for abroad and had learned lot of realities of the life and was anxious to do some thing for oppressed class of the country. But bad luck to poor people , she was assasinated mysteriously and lost her life. Now democratically PPP should have elected itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s leader and Iatazaz Ahsan, Shah Mehmud Qureshi, Yusaf Raza Gilani , Makhdoum Amin Fahim and Aftab Sherpao could have been very promising candidates to compete but there is no democracy no where in Pakistan so nomination brought Bilawal but it would have been much better to bring an other Bhutto, Fatima- a talented chrismatic in the fold to keep workers and oppressed people unite. This could have been done by Asif Zardari showing his GREATNESS and wiseness to nominate these two young Bhuttos in waiting list of leadership but unfortunatly Zardari did what a loving father should do- so nothing to discuss, let him deal with leadership of PPP and workers will be keep chanting jive jive Bhutto jive for decades to come.

Yes, Fatima is the only hope for Pakistan from Bhutto family- she is the real Bhutto by blood and intellect. I am a regular reader of her articles and itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s hard to believe that she can have this oservation and intellect to write these articles. Her writings are based on very facts and concern of the welfare of masses. But before she walks in to the real field of politics, she has a lot of chalenges to face. Intellectual like Dr. Mubasher Hasan could be a very dependable guide but do not have enogh votes which counts in democracy and the people who have votes are not dependable at all. So please Fatima, take care of yourself first and then politics. We do not want to lose you for nothing. You can lead but lead the nation carefully and wisely. All the best, An unknown founder of PPP and a former PRO, Iranian Embassy, Saudi Arabia-piplaw@hotmail.com

WBC, I meant to echo what I thought was John’s suggestion that given the dangerous state of Pakistani politics that for Fatima to go into the political realm is not the best use of her intelligence and talents. It’s not worth the risk. She’s too valuable and talented to risk losing.

I frankly didn’t notice the rest of it.

you should talk, reg — as the undisputed reigning champion of the serial postings. yes, we can see you’re bored and in need of a master’s degree, if only you could skip the little step of a BS first. And that doesn’t mean the art of S-ing Bull.

IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve said enough on this blog to indicate IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m not uninformed about whatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s going on in Iraq/Pakistan/India etc.

Boy, is that an understatement.

Celeste, are you actually agreeing with John’s comment that “GWBush goes the half way around the globe to kill Iraqis just because they are Muslims?”

I’ve said enough on this blog to indicate I’m not uninformed about what’s going on in Iraq/Pakistan/India etc., and surely no fan of the Bush Admin. and their ignorant blunderings which did indeed make matters worse in the region and for the image of the US: but… that statement is just plain wrong.

Very good point, John. Such a thing would worry me too.

To clarify, my comment was not a reflection on Fatima Bhutto, but of the contextual “Bhuttoism” that strikes me as utterly anachronistic and wrongheaded in putting primacy on bloodlines as opposed to political seasoning and effectiveness of potential leadership.

I think Fatima is too talented, too precious, to be sacrificed on this todays murderous political stages.

As long as people on this earth do not show any respect
for people of different opinions/religions but just kill each other because come in your way – and not just that -
but, as GWHush, goes the half way around the globe to kill Iraqis just because they are Muslims.. as long as that goes
on please – DO NOT PUSH Fatima into this madness.
