    This is really lovely and brought tears to eyes. You really should get this on TV somehow.

    You should also add more footage Musharraf’s antics like you did of Zia. In the end, all military dicators have been equally worse with the destruction of fabric of society and deterioration of civic institution.

    The ethnic violence have always escalated during military rules and this term is no different. They have succeeded in giving it an ethnic color and i am fearful what might they do later as this is an election year.

    This country was made not for Muslims of subcontinent but for the Muslim Army of subcontinent because they are the rulers and the civilians are here to serve them.

    Looking back, what this military has given us. 3 misadventures which resulted in defeats, selling of our nationals to US for bounties, biggest corporation with hands in cement, banking, fertilizer, cereals and real estate; ethnic violences, killing of our own citizens in baluchistan and bajaur.

    THIS COUNTRY WAS CREATED TO SERVE THE MILITARY IT SEEMS.

    Yes, you should send this to Aaj or Geo. They should be playing this right now. Again and again.

    Let’s put our passion at play. If Geo doesn’t play it, lets all contribute and buy a spot on Geo. I’m willing to put down Rs 10,000 as part of my contribution.
