<There are enough illiterate who vote. Illiterate does not mean "stupid". >

The problem is not of education, I think 'aggression of ideology' cannot be overlooked in my country, when same 'aggression of ideology' existed in India pre Raj period India was rule by minority vandals like Moguls and invaded by Ghauris and Ghaznavis for centuries, I don't know the exact reasons but even in 1857 war of Independence the Jats and others reinstated Bahdur Shah Zafar the crown of Delhi. Why not to think about minority rule of India by dictators for centuries has similar roots what we face in Pakistan today, India fortunately took off, we were hampered with all the worst geography, the vestiges of Frontier province the most unmanageable of the provinces in united India, the rage of the north and the scum of the deoband just moved on to Pakistan to preach their brand of whabbism. For last 56 years our very survival as a nation is a miracle, now we are moving on against adversary and hopefully going to change the face of our nation.

Now democracy taking roots after 1947 in India has more to do with malleable nature of Hindu mythology where respect of life is as important as in Buddhism whereas in medieval extremism version of Islam-blood letting even of other Muslim brothers has become a way of life. It is all about software that needs a total redefinition, we are here staring realities in our face, our re-education is defining co-existence, it is basic cause that we are looking at.

Our President today responds to our editorials, the process of accountability has started, everyone is held accountable, the loot of the exchequer under the democrats like Shariffs and Bhutto's have been stopped, plus Islam is now being taken to the new 21st century, a fatwa has been issued against Mush by the leading cleric that he an infidel and hence a jihad should be waged against him, we on our end thinks he is liberating Pakistan form forces of darkness, we will do what is best for us, and our minority is day by day increasing, we want to live honorably with the world and we will rise soon from this fall to the bottom.

"Illiterate does not mean "stupid"."

You are correct, and my apologies to you and anyone else who interpreted my statement that way. I did not say that, nor did I mean to infer it.
We all spend the first few years of our lives illiterate...as did Einstein, Ghandi, and all the rest...
