International design, US and UK doesnt want Musharraff to be tried. They want him to leave before Nawaz comes in Govt. since he would put Nawaz in a difficult situation. Polls were rigged to promote Nawaz, and anyone having doubts must read Shaheen Sahbai

Mr. Nawaz Sherif - good approach. Further if he bring peace and business in Karachi it means next election vote from Karachi to Muslim Leage N. Peace in Karachi should be number one, bring the culprit and strike people under law net. Further all media people should work for peace and stability in karachi without fear of any one.

Pakistani "elite" should stop talking grand talk of "geopolitical and geoeconomic" interests and focus on the issues that are important to 99% of the people of Pakistan of ending terrorism and fighting poverty, broken electricity infrastructure, broken railway infrastructure, city crime and making the country an attractive place in which to do business.
