Pakistanis Love to Talk, not Listen

The former ambassador B.A. Malik (NewsPost 16 October 2009) while enumerating  certain serious issues for a meaningful discourse and not cosmetic response has, should I say, conveniently overlooked certain obvious questions. As the ex-ambassador is a great advocate of democracy and the rule of law, may I ask him to add the following also to his list:-

1. Should the politicians be allowed to keep plundering the national wealth making them billionaires overnight?
2. Should the parliament give Charta Blanca to such politicians through the NROs?
3. Should the democratic rulers be only from the hereditary party leadership?
4. Should merit be trampled over consideration for party affiliations?

The list can be long but for the time being the above could suffice.
