Partly Facetious: An issue that should have been tackled by parliament

"So now what?"
"Round, God knows which one, but we are back to the courts."
"Your reference is to the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO)?"
"Indeed, but I would define it differently."
"I know you would say it means letting the corrupt go free, and you would blame the poor PPP leadership..."
"Hey, you can refer to them as victims, you can refer to them as being maligned, you can even refer to them as being incompetent but you can't refer to them as being poor."
"But they are wealthy landlords from before and..."
"I would advise you not to go there. I mean that may well open the Pandora's box a bit more."
"And what's in the Pandora's box?"
"Depends on who you ask? If you ask the PML (N) it is corruption by the PPP leadership. If you ask the PPP they say the full box contains details of corruption by the PML (N) leadership."
"Ah I see. So we come back to reconciliation. Let bygones be bygones because in the past all were corrupt?"
"That is the R right in the middle of the NRO."
"As a middle income earner of this country I would define NRO as Nominal Responsibility Offer. You have token responsibility for past misdeeds shall we say to put it mildly."
"Why BB didn't insist that the period of the NRO also include the Sharifs I don't know. That way there might have been unanimity."
"That was Musharraf. He couldn't stand the Sharifs."
"Couldn't stand them or was scared of them in case they came back to power?"
"Hey, politics is the art of the possible. Given what background Musharraf came from surely he should have understood that basic principle."
"Once in power you lose track of the power of the people and once you lift your finger from the pulse of the perception of the common man then all is doomed and I am not exempting the present government from this charge."
"So what do we do now?"
"Wait for the courts to decide, an issue that should have been tackled by the parliament."
"Agreed."
