Nice one dude.
Petty corruption is widespread in the 3rd world. If youre gonna wait for a leader with perfectly clean hands, youre gonna wait a long time. And again, from everything I can gather, the Pakistani electorate was quite aware of that as well. Oh, and her PPP was about as strong a voice for social democracy, IIUC, as existed in Pakistan.

Maybe she wasnt fit to be elected. If so, the people of Pakistan had the right to decide that for themselves.

I expect that what will follow now will be no better, and probably worse.
