The face of Pakistani politics today became more deformed than ever. Musharraf’s resignation comes as a prime example of a country that has, in its ONLY recent history focused on more on the past than the present or the future, and that shows in the country’s economic status, political climate, and global alliances.

A country of many failures, the present government has once again shown that blaming the predecessor is the way to go; rather than making the most of an opportunity to repair a nation full of civil, political, financial, class and ethnic differences, the government of the Pakistan People’s Party, coupled with the childish attitude of Nawaz Sharif, has today shown how any good of one’s past can be overshadowed by policial enemity.

Musharraf resigned amidst fears of charges of corruption, excessive price increases, and murders of tribal leaders (which, at least, were correctly motivated.) The People’s Party (Asif Zardari) or the PML-N (Nawaz Sharif) are hardly in a position to charge Musharraf with corruption, their attempted murders, or economic failures. Zardari was notorious for his corruption games. Nawaz Sharif was put on trial for the attempted murder of Musharraf for not allowing his plane to land. Now, the same to allegations being imposed against Musharraf are nothing but a mud slinging match between the bitter politicians of this country’s dreaded horizon.

Yes, Musharraf changed the face of the Pakistan Constitution and Judicial System (which, in Pakistan, is a mockery of the word justice). But, no, for him to be blamed and accused of ridding the country of tribal leaders like Bugti of Balochistan, is a new unpatriotic low even for Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari. What Musharraf did do was attempt to rid the country of those separatist groups that wanted to split it up. However, it now appears that one of his few acts of patriotism and possibly decent leadership will come back to bite him along with the possibly countless other acts of corruption, cheating, and causing political victimization to the people of Pakistan.

Nonetheless, by classifying his attempt to rid Pakistan of its separatists as a crime, the co-alition government of PPP and PML-N may very well be handing Pakistan over on a sliver platter to the disastrous planners of the western world. It is such acts and prosecutions, that will probably promote individualist activity from each province of Pakistan, that will be the very death of that country.

But who is to say Pakistan was ever formed for a different reason. It seems like Pakistan was possibly created as a political forum for Mohammad Ali Jinnah in 1947, and it seems like that trend continues today for Zardari, Sharif and Musharraf. What a pity.
