From the moment Nawaz said “ the wind of change has started blowing” outside his residence in model town the success of long march was guaranteed.Nawaz was at peak of all his political might.
On the morning of 15th Lahore was completely ceiled and the massive numbers of security persons,house arrest of Aitzaz and Nawaz,it was apparently looking that this would be a march that wont even cross GPO.This was confirmed by the crackdown of police on a small peaceful protest at GPO.But then something happened that doesn’t normally happen in Pakistan politics.Against all odds Nawaz came out gave a heartwarming speech and the success of long march was ensured.The way Nawaz and his followers broke away from police barricades in model town and kalma Chowk it was apparent that no matter how many police government deploys it wont matter,and by the time Nawaz had reached Ichra Long march was a massive success and the Halls of power in Islamabad had started shaking.
It is first time in Pakistan that Popular people leader has stood against the government not for his Power but for the people of Pakistan.The sheer size of Mob Nawaz amassed was enough for the government to restore the judges.
It must be said that this was a lawyers movement from day one and Imran Khan and Qazi and there parties played a massive role if the 2 year long movement,but one can’t help but say that the killing blow was dealt by Nawaz Sharif.
This movement also showed that peoiple of pakistan are alive and wont be bullied no longer by the oppressive regimes and governments.Success of movements like these are turning points in nation history thus lets all hope that this movement brings a positive change in Pakistan and takes us towards a better Future.

44th US President is going to be sworn in tomorrow. Through out the
world people are welcoming the end of Bush Regime and Welcoming Obama as the most power full man in the world.
Last 8 years of Bush regime have left the world Broken and bleeding. With war raging in Most of Middle East, Extremist sentiment Stronger than ever, World Economy in shambles and US Image in the world at an all time low.
In this time of crises election of a black US president is even more welcomed. The fact is people can relate to Obama and his life story. He is a president from among the masses who has gone to the top office due to his sheer effort, Charisma and Dynamism and not due to his Family background and Family political ties.Its due to this fact people are relating him to great statesman like Abraham Lincon and expecting the same dramatic policies and changes that Lincon brought to USA.
But the question we need to ask is that will Obama be able to repair what’s broken in Past 8 years. Can he come up with a solution to Middle East crises? Can he help root out extremism in Middle East and Asian Subcontinent not by violence but due to his policies, and what can he do to support the failing Economy.
A Lot remains to be seen but Obama has made a great start and he goes into White House with lot of support and high expectations.
Only time will tell if he will be able to deliver.

Just few days back Pakistan armed forces started there latest offensive against Taliban with aim to push them back away from the provisional capital of Peshawar.
Pakistan armed forces and government are facing a tough dilemma here. Though how hard they try things keep on getting worse and worse. If government reaches a truce or pact with Taliban and Islamic extremists the American lobby starts shouting and every terrorist act in Afghanistan is blamed on Pakistan side of the border. If government goes on offensive against the extremists like Baitullah Mehsud or Mangal Bagh the internal opposition to government increases with increase in extremism and support for people like Baitullah Mehsud or Mangal Bagh in frontier and also a series of suicide bomb blasts across the whole country.
And all the time the American media and watch dogs keep on shouting about the failure of Pakistani armed forces and there inability to protect the borders where the fact of the matter is that it is the failure of American and Nato armed forces that allowed all these extremist and Taliban to cross over into Pakistan which has made situation inside Pakistan extremely fragile.
One must understand that these extremists fight a Gorilla tactic war and if the whole American and Nato armed forces with highly sophisticated technology could not contain the extremist elements in Iraq and Afghanistan then they should think twice before pointing fingers against the Pakistan Army.
This post is a reaction to the article “Pakistan: Negligent on Terror?” , published in TIME on 30th June.

A new election, a new hope, a new Government but the same old problems. Election 08 has given anew hope to people of Pakistan. A hope that arises every time Government changes. Hope that arose in 1997 when Nawaz took over, Hope that arose again in 1999 after Musharaf Coup and now again in 2008.But will this time be any different, for the sake of Pakistan’s future I hope so yes. But it won’t be an easy ride for the new government as the ground realities haven’t changed much. The US war against terror is still on going, the spread of extremism in the masses is still ongoing, and there is still electricity and gas shortage so it won’t be a walk in the park for who ever takes over the government.
Has Pakistan reached a point from there is no return? Has the US lead war has put us in a dilemma to which there is no solution? are the main questions the new government has to address. People of Pakistan have spoken and given the politicians another chance, now its there turn to deliver cause God forbid if they don’t the trust people have entrusted in them will be shattered.
The performance and policies of the new government might very well determine our future and our existence as a nation.
