Drama over pakistani skies: PM Sharif sent his COAS to Sri Lanka with a mind set to arrest him on arrival in a small airport outside Karachi, by name NawabShah. The plane was out of Sri Lanka at about 1PM on Tuesday the 6th. 2hrs in the air, Sharif announced dismissal of Gen.Musharaff and appointed his friend, crony and ISI chief Gen. Ziauddin. Flight PK805 was nearing Karachi 5 1/2 hrs after take-off from Ceylon. Captain Sarwat was refused clearance to land in karachi. He was asked to go to Oman in Persian Gulf or Allahabad in India. At the first request for clearance to land, captain had about 1 hr and few miutes of fuel and was circling Karachi. With only seven mts of fuel left, captain was frantic and was diverted to land in a small airport near Karachi, Nawabshah but refused to land his Air Bus in the tiny airport at Nawabshah. When the PM's men were dispatched to Nawabshah in a small airplane to arrest Gen. Musharaff, thinking that the airbus would land there. At that time the military got wind of skunk works on the part of Sharif to arrest Gen.Musharaff. With seven minutes of fuel left Gen.Musharaff ordered the tower for clearance to land & called his buddy General Usmani, who immediately raced to Karachi airport and took control of the air traffic controllers' tower. Everything else is history.

The one who steals the most gets jailed, killed, replaced, or exiled by the next one who wants to better / best the last person. That is sum of democracy in Pakistan. Not very different in India either. Anybody who steals is forced to resign, either by the opposition or by people on his own side, so that somebody else gets a chance to fatten himself. The cases lodged against the looters go nowhere and after a few years, the original looter is elected back to power because the person who replaced him is far worse! People of pakistan are so fed up with looting feudal Lords, that they say that military rule is better any day. I have heard and read many Indians on many forums wish for dictatorship in India too, "for a limited time" (Of course they have no clue about how the hell they will get back power from the dictator after that "limited time" is over!) Guess, What is the most important and principal export from Pakistan? Its best and brightest, the people. All that are left are the looters, morons, the wretched poor, the filthy rich and the military. Well, that is pretty much the story of India as well. Show me one product that has the "made in India" label that people all over the world clamor to buy, or at the very least, consider buying.
