im srry but anyone who says Zardari’s past is behind him is either naive or has not lived in pakistan. with Musharaf gone Zardari will take pakistan and run it too the ground and steal every dime he can i mean he has admitted wanting make his wife’s dreams about pakistan’s future come true and what do u think his wife who was kicked out TWICE for corruption and had a money laundering case against her in switzerland dreamt of when she thought of pakistan “(PIGGIE BANK) with no lock lets steal some more.”. MR 10 Percent is never gonna change but his title now is probably MR 90% as he is the big fish in pakistan now.

I agree with ELDRICK, it’s too soon to compare the two. Given the past records of the latter the comparision doesnt make any sense.

Mr, Cohen,
I am flabbergasted to read your remarks about Mr,Zardi.Mind you he famous for 10% and has dreadly record of corruption,etc,I believe its very awkward to say that he is more courages than former president Mr, Mussaraf. Mussaraf was a benevolent dictator who brought hope and enlightnment
to a bellicose and benighted nation.Mr, Zardi has not brought anything similar to Mussaraf’s in his past era apart from hatred,corruption

as a sindhi who supported benazir, let me be clear about this:ZARDARI IS DISLIKED BY MAJORITY SINDHIS LIKE THE REST OF THE NATION. he was the reason behind the late Benazir (may God rest her soul) lack of greater support.

Mr Junejo,

Please do not blame all hostile comments on ethnic backgrounds. Frankly speaking it has been there in all our provinces. Sindhis, baluchis, pathans and punjabis they all have their difference but why is it that always Punjabis are bashed for being discriminating. If Mr Siddiqui does not like Mr Zardari it could be a matter of personal choice as well. Let it just stay to that.

Dear Mr Ravez Junejo It was due to massive mandate from punjab that Pakistan Peoples Party (led by sindhis since established) formed government for the 4th time in this nation’s history!
Punjabis have never been hostile towards pashtuns,sindhis or balochis infact its always been you guys who have been throwing mud on us whenever an opportunity arises.
Stop creating divisions.Its time to show unity!

I am guilty of an error. I feel I should be thanking Ms Myra Macdonald.

I apologise for the oversight. It appears that the earlier comment blinded my senses with indignant fury.

Dear Mr Cohen,

Congratulations on writing such a balanced article on the Co-Chairperson PPP President Asif Zardari.

I would advise you not to be eprturbed by some caustic comments posted on your article. You must undertand that the ethnic affiliations of these people prevent them from ever warming up to Zardari or his martyred wife, both of whom were of Sindhi descent.

One Mr Imran Siddiqi who has posted the unusually aggresive comment seems by his name to be either from the MUHAJIR or PUNJABEE ethnic group, both of whom are known for their long history of hostility towards the Sindhis, Baluchis and Pathan nations in Pakistan.

Roger Cohen is probably going to get a paid vacation at the Surray Palace very soon.

If Roger likes him so much then he should have kept Zardari in the US so that he could take part in the next US Presedential elections!
