Is Sarkozy Crazy to Wed Carla? Newsweek International Newsweek.com

Its hilarious that when the Super Powers are entangled in their "Fight against (damn)Terrorism" and scratching their heads over economy, a leader has guts to have such a tabloid-scripted affair with a French model and providing best photo opportunities to Papparazis who are finding it more glamorous than our Brangalina trotting around with four kids. The President and his girlfriend went to Disney World enjoying Fairy Tales characters, roam around on beaches in swim suites and walk around in Pyramids holding hands, these news made Bush envious of French lover's luck as his own wife has no plans to dump him for another guy and give him a chance to check hot babes of Beverly Hills! so the poor guy spends more time in meetings scheming to fight against shadows threatening his country and venting his frustration by fighting wars in other countries.

There is no doubt that world should be thankful to French President for adding spice in World News as we are too overdosed with sad news and grim faced politicians.

Graveyard Politicians

Islam has forbidden grave worship but fortunately or unfortunately not grave politics. So our most influential politicians are the ones burried 6 feet deep in graves than the ones living and kicking (their political rivals). They have managed to assert their powers and stronghold even from the graves. They are better in attracting voters, winning elections and triggering masses towards toppling any regime. We have seen politicians turning into better leaders after their deaths. The instructions of Allah not to talk ill of a dead person is obeyed with such vigor in Pakistan that we canonise them as saints as soon as they are declared dead. Zulfqar Bhutto was introduced to arena of politics by a Marshal Law administrator Ayub Khan and he brought Yahyah Khan, the most notorious Marshal Law administrator to legitimate his hold on power but alas he was hanged as a result of a controversal judiciary verdict tainted heavily by his conflict with another Marshal Law administrator Zia-ul-Haq. His sorry demise was more noticeable than his rise. Suddenly he became epitome of democracy, someone who stood up to the dictatorship and paid the prize with his life. His daughter's comeback was hailed by the Jialas more as his own second-life in world. We are not fortunate like Americans whose presidency candidates convince voters of their validity through economic and foreign policies but we listen to same mantra of "fighting against corruption" and "democracy establishment" in every election. Hell with economics and people dying in Northern areas, our politicians will fight the corruption by establishing the democracy.
Now we have another addition to the graveyard politicians mafia, Benazir Bhutto. She will build the political career of her husband and son, will help them to retain their hold on voters, will be quoted in every Jalsa of PPP and will have her picture printed in all the PPP elections banner. She will be more convincing and effective from grave than she was from Dubai or Larkana. A politician who sacrificed her life for waving to her supporters. I sympathise with her family who lost a wife, mother, sister, Bua and friend, I mourn her death as a loss of human life and I protest her killing as senseless murder but still I won't forget or forgive these politicians for the harm done to my nation and my country.
