My apologies to you sir, but your government has had its day and is about to see nightfall. Anyway, the GOP is unprepared to face the reined in wrath of the USA. Therefore, who will suffer? The common person on the street. The politicians, feudals, industrialists, bureaucrats, drug and qabza mafia, and high-heeled persons will be sitting in their overseas recluses. Salams

To do all this only a couple of weeks before their demise is part a plan to create problems for the new government if it is by any party other than PPP. And if the misfortunes of Pakistan are to continue and PPP gets to form the new government, Zardari has the God given 'ability' to go back on any promise or get out of out any agreement without the least of hesitation. After all these agreements are not "Quran or Hadees".

After lavish spending and building their own empires during last 5 years of democrazy they very well know that economy is at its lowest level and they have plans to introduce Rs50K note in due course of time so just to play safe all this drama of IP line and sanctions is made because we know that no IP plan will go ahead and it is mere paper work.

Let us start taking our decisions at our own. Sanctions or no sanctions, we have to go for the Iran pipeline. It is a matter of survival for us. I can understand US problem, they want to see Pakistan going to gutter as soon as possible and with Iran Pipe line the process of sending it to gutter can be delayed or averted, so it is not to US liking. But it is we who have to decide that how quickly we have to get out of the gutter
