Admit your mistakes


I STILL can't believe that so many people are still so content with the present situation, praising Gen Musharraf on his imposition of emergency and assuming that life will be peachy as it was before.

It's portrayed that the culprits and problem creators who are responsible for the present situation are either the media (particularly GEO) or the judges. Who can believe this?

Gen Musharraf whose day job was army chief once … suddenly woke up one morning and took over Pakistan and became the president.

He solely, I repeat…, he solely commanded/ruled Pakistan for eight years.

When he began to tumble, he blamed the media and an independent judiciary for the mess in the country. How can we accept this that it's the media's and judges' fault?

Gen Musharraf took credit for whatever he did in the past eight years …, now he should act like a man…, face the nation…and should say: "I was the sole ruler of this country for eight years and accept that I have failed in running this country."

Can he admit his mistakes? It's so easy in the end to pin the blame on someone.

The army, like any other government institution, dwells on the hard-paid tax by the citizens of Pakistan.

Who has given them the authority to rule us and decide our future?
