Partly Facetious: Nawaz Sharif was not complicit in ZABs murder

"There is a need to determine A to Z of terror attacks in the country and..."
Published April 11, 2009

"There is a need to determine A to Z of terror attacks in the country and..."
"Whats with A to Z?"
"I thought this government may understand it better if I use letters of the alphabet as, like all our past governments, it likes slogans."
"Dont do that. Gilani is so proud of the three Ds with respect to terrorism."
"The three Ds?"
"Dialogue, development to end terrorism and..."
"Destruction of terrorists, notwithstanding the associated collateral damage done to the local people in terms of lost lives and property."
"I guess thats the real definition of deterrence."
"Anyway, I think the A to Z of terrorism is easy for the government?"
"They have not succeeded to date. You know terrorist attacks have become more bloody and more often than ever before."
"But A to Z is easy. Their chairman is Asif Zardari - there they have all the A to Z they want or think they need."
"You are being facetious today."
"AZ in a TV interview said Mian Sahib didnt keep his promise either."
"First of all, I have said time and again that the President must stop giving interviews - he doesnt look good in them and he just damages himself."
"And second?"
"Second the President claims that Mian Sahib backed out of a promise which was effectively declaring Bhuttos murder as judicial murder and apologising for it."
"Mian Sahib was not complicit in that murder. And true he was Ziaul Haqs protégé, but I dont think he was consulted over the murder of Bhutto."
"I would tend to agree."
"Besides I dont think Mian Sahib would care if an apology is tendered on this issue."
"Right, its not as if President Zardaris popularity rating will go up as a result."
"Thats true."
"I come back to my question: whose advice is the president continuing to take? That person or persons must be fired."
"I agree, because they are certainly not going to resign."
