New Losser in the Pakistan Politics:Zardari world's fifth biggest loser

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, who was forced by his opponents to accept the demand to reinstate sacked judges, has been listed
the fifth biggest loser in the world by the prestigious Foreign Policy magazine.
"Zardari was known to be a bad guy long before he became Pakistan's President. Many of the closest friends of his late wife Benazir Bhutto could not stand him. Now, as it turns out, neither can most of the Pakistani people," read the citation by the US-based magazine.
"Locked in a bitter struggle with opposition leader Nawaz Sharif, Zardari showed his weakness by capitulating to demands to reinstate Pakistan's former Chief Justice per Sharif's demands. Now in a desperate attempt to reassert control of his own party he may be plotting the ouster of his Prime Minister," the magazine said in an article on the world's 13 biggest losers.
Zardari is "on the ropes, his opposition is gaining strength, and meanwhile fraught, dangerous, complex Pakistan is hardly being governed at all", the magazine said.
Foreign Policy listed 12 other leaders from this month's "headlines ranked by just how little sympathy we should have for them".
The Pope was declared the second biggest loser because "he's out of touch with the real world and his papacy is 'a disaster'", the magazine wrote.
Austrian businessman Josef Fritzl was among the losers for locking his daughter in the basement of his house and making her his sex slave.
Bernie Madoff, the US swindler who defrauded taxpayers of $60 billion, was also included in the list.
Others included on the Foreign Policy list are Edward Liddy, executive of US giant AIG (no 13); Forbes Billionaires List (no 12); Eliot Spitzer also of AIG (no 11); British Prime Minister Gordon Brown (no 10) and Israeli political Bibi Netahanyahu (no 9).

13.) Edward Liddy
12.) Forbes Billionaires List
11.) Eliot Spitzer

Let us know..

Today, all our media - TV, newspapers and now even Internet - are full of all kinds of hate rhetoric between the two countries. At least Internet should have been an ideal meeting ground for the people of two nations divided by an imaginary, artificial boundary, but is unfortunately being misused. This website is an attempt in trying to bring the two countries, communities and ideologies at one plateform, at least for a dialogue.

Right now we have links to some articles published in various websites in the past. We welcome your valueble comments and suggestions as to new ways for a dialogue and friendly relations between the two countries. You can also tell us about any other website, article or effort of this nature that you notice on the internet. You can even contribute an article, story or anything that can help in our crusade.
