awesome! Thanks for the info John. Honestly, from any news reports about this all I took from it was the cool name Benazir Bhutto. It was even in my head today, 20th of Oct, 2011.... unfortunately Bhutto was assassinated a month and 20 days after this video was made.
I'm learning more history from you guys than all of my 8 years of history lessons combined, and it's all because I don't fall asleep during your videos.
Hey guys. You won't believe this. Crazy story about a girl who got possessed by a powerful demon in sleep. The demon uses her to get out of its realm. Go to the site in the brackets (bit.ly/girlpossessedbydemon)
....the right to sit in a chair while working in most jobs. A CHAIR to sit during 12 hours shift sewing ? that's a socialist reform I hate that you people blindly hate anything thats not free-market measures, free market sucks it increases poverty cyclicly (not sure that's a word but poverty raises then drops then raises again in and endless loop) sorry for the long comment got kinda drawn in and couldn't stop.

hey john . great video, but when you commented about "1970 south america" i think you should've included the fact that the US motivated these military takeovers because they were scared of communisism moving closer to them and becoming more and more powerful, also the US inforced advantages to dictatorship of the, let's say economic kind, and of course turned a blind eye on all the injustice and lack of justice and freedom in it's own continent, I'd like to point out that i like us citizens
Unfortunately, I find that somewhat insulting. I'm a 16 year old Australian, and am hoping to be a lawyer. I understand that most lawyers are awful money hungry people, but that's why I want to be a lawyer, SO I CAN STOP WORLD SUCK! I'm sick of lawyers not caring for their clients, and that's why I, as a nerdfighter, am going to be different! P.S I do understand where John is coming from though :)
I agree with sheermomentum. John you have a wonderful understanding of politics and you making it so facsinating to hear about because you care about it so much. I really hope the situation has gotten better now.
don't make fun of lawyers. my dad is a lawyer but he was an english major and he really wants to be an author. look at atticus finch from To Kill a Mockingbird, he always held the moral high ground!
one correction he became president nt prime minister dude.p.s being a pakistani and belonging to the younger generation i want to tell that musharaf was a ass.... whu mad shit outa this country bhuto and sharif were not far behind.the reason is corruption.after 5 decades we still havent gone up due to hig nt total corruption in every govrnment institution.
I can't believe this was two years ago, John. That's really all I can think about, excepting only Sarah's pregnancy. But really, how soon I forget. That was a really turbid and exciting (albeit frightening) bit of political kerfuffle, and here I am, all but nostalgic. I don't really know what that signifies, but it feels somewhat wrong. Thanks for making me think, John.
i think that is very small minded of you John. Lawyers are looking for justice, which is defined by our moral standards, so thus lawyers create the moral high ground.
Man!! That's awesome! You are so right in your analysis. Except for a couple of mistakes (Musharraf being prime minister while he was president, actually) every thing was OK. When are you coming up with the latest episode my friend?
Yeah, is it sad that I learn more from you when your mouth is full of peeps than I ever learn from my history teacher? Also, the ad on the screen was for The Jacksons pop music. hm
hahaha thats a fun way to learn history..i actually had to read 50 pages to learn all this..but hey why not talk abt pakistani sports there is more to pakistan than political turmoil...we are the world champions in cricket!!! yeah we won the 2009 world cup!! and the whole contry has lost it..there is dancing..music ..food...its like a celebration festival going on ...pak is a pretty special country....watch the video 'the truth about pakistan' to get a better idea..
John, I'm proud of you for eating so many peeps... it did not look fun. I've attempted to eat as many peeps as I could as fast as I could and I did not get past 18 and a half.
John, I think you meant "President" Musharraf. And what do you think of the situation now? The general public seems to think poorly of the new president, but it's gotta be better than the undemocratic presidency of Musharraf, right?
u r just not more than an ass hole listen 2 ur video completly pause it exactly at 1.43 seconds and start listening more carefully u said that at that time sir parvaiz musharaf becomes the prime minister of pakistan and its absulutely rubbish he was a dictator not a democrat....
hey what's wrong with lawyers huh???? my father's a lawyer (corporate, but still a lawyer) - do you think he's morally dubious? i think my father is a very VERY good man and if you don't think so i might have to stop watching brotherhood 2.0, which would be a shame because a) i find you guys very funny and b) it would make the around 700 minutes that i have spent watching your videos a complete waste and i really don't want THAT to happen, so i guess i'll just let that little comment slide
Dude, I wish you could have been my History teacher in high school, because you have the awesome ability to make this sort of stuff sound somewhat interesting.
The ad I got next to this video says "Meet Pakistani girls for dating & marriage." Oh Google Ads... I guess there wasn't much to work with on this video.
Since the day Pakistan evolved as a new & independant Islamic estate anti-Islamic alliance is its best not letting any political or financial stability prevail here.People like Zardari & Musharraf etc are being used, paid & strongly supported by all means to sabotage Pakistan in all departments of life.Result is visible in the shape of a devilish group ruling it.The irony of fate is that this devilish group has been educated in the west and knows the secrets of stability but doesn't apply them.
Wow. I've eaten Peeps before. Even had the chance to take a bunch of'm for free. I know for a FACT that I don't like them. But watching you down them makes me want to go out and try them. After that... there's a matter of getting rid of the rest.
John, you should do more of these! I think you should have 'Politics Friday' as well as Question Tuesday and discuss the political situation in a country of your choice... whilst eating something inedible, of course.
john green i feel like you did mun when you were younger? is that true. im just wondering because that would make you even more awesome than you already are.
You've got a talent for making just about any subject interesting. I only wish my history teacher could have done that when our class had to learn about French/English relations in Canadian history.
@devilsKrEEd I'm more Pakistani than your ignorant self can ever be. You can't even type properly, let alone engage someone in an intelligent conversation. So in essence, learn some language (English, Urdu, Punjabi -- essentially whatever floats your boat) then come back with something valid to say and we'll take it from there.
@doubleaking :Well being in usa u can say that;s nice of you.What do you know about bombings in pakistan huh.I nearly escaped a bomb incident on pirwadhai mor(16 march 2009).The sight of the dead will haunt me forever. in rawalpind pakistan.Sitting in a country far away you have absolutely no right to argue just by watching cnn,bbc...I dont want to speak english,let alone write it.Due to linguistic imperialism i am helpless but still i am forced learn this bloody language for survival.
@doubleaking :So dont ever insult yourself by claiming to be a pakistani.I am proud of my country and will always defend her ideals no matter what.i will not insult english language.I love my urdu more than any other language;that implies for englishmen too as it's their national heritage.SO in essence learn about nationalism and what it takes to be a pakistani.What we are going through here cannot be understood by you.So thank u very much.I apologize if u are offended by my post 2 days ago
'Sharif, needless to say, don't like it." That is brilliance at its most nerdfightiest. And thank you for the very informative political lesson here. And for making funny faces because each time I paused this video, you have the most awesomest face ever.
i'd like to see you do more four-minute "history-lessons", because they're really informative and very interesting to watch. and it makes me want to grab a book to learn more and to read more news (i am actually a journalist, but you hardly ever fully grab the story, but only understand bits and pieces - a little overview is nice. thank you.)
Nice time line on Pakistan politics, little nerdy but says it all.
Major shift in Pakistan politics occurred when Musharraf got baptized. Ex-military call for Musharraf to go ISLAMABAD, Jan 31 (AFP) A group of retired Pakistani military officers Thursday urged President Musharraf to step down and hand over power to ousted chief justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry.
Good political commentary..the news nowadays twists and contorts things so out of proportion..and it's so opinionated it's not even funny (meaning you, Katie Couric.) Thanks for clear, informative stuff. Keep it up.
I hope that the death of Bhutto will bring people together. I hope that through her death something can be achieved. That some level of peace can be found. It's so sad to see a country torn apart politically.
Thanks John for being so concise and informative~ even with the peeps! I'm sure it really helped a lot of people understand things. Unfortunately many people don't actually know the situation, the news doesn't tell us much and I only know via my history classes.
Hey, I'm Muslim AND Pakistani (double whammy!) and I agree with Mr. Green - the situation in Pakistan has reached all time high suck levels. It's very depressing topic, to tell the truth. I never thought I'd side w/ lawyers...there's a sick picture in the NY Times of a lawyer lobbing a tear gas shell BACK at the police (STICK IT TO THE MAN!)

Major and respected political pundits would opine the radicalization of Pakistan was due to the invasion of Afghanistan, the invasion of Iraq, the threats of an Iranian invasion, the occupation of the West Bank and the horrors of the Gaza strip.
Was the initial election of G W Bush really democratic or more of an accident ??

dude. you're an idiot and you are brainwashed. you should know that terms like democracy, dictatorship, radical, terrorist, blah blah blah, are political/propaganda terms. they don't actually mean anything, except to indicate who are the "good guys" and who are the "bad guys", and based on these terms you concluded that unelected, unaccountable private power (lawyers, judges, media) are the good guys because they oppose an unelected, unaccountable military junta.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ummm I dont really comment on this kind of stuff coz theres not point. BUT bro I must say this to you. dont quit your day job if you have one. Not really sure what was the purpose of your vid specially when your facts are not right as well !!! anyway
Musharaf is ******, and the police in Pakistan is *****. Once, not that long time i saw the police in pakistan arresting a man ( on TV ) And they where like pushing him and hitting him he was screaming that he would follow with them voluntarily, but they still wont stop hitting him.....
mannn.. you talk way too fast[only my X-girl friend can outmatch you].. u might haven't discovered yet but u my friend is a born "Democrat" only u can fill the gap of senior bush in that party [:D]
anyway ... Your understanding about my country is spoon fed and not beyond google calm down man we are allies remeber!!!...Chao
Good points. However, I would argue that the rise of extremist Islamic parties more closely correspond with Musharaf's compliance with the US's War on Terror, versus just the mere fact that he is a dictator.
The fact of the matter is, Pakistan was in an unstable state when Musharaf went into office. Then very shortly thereafter, 9/11 happened, and for the country the size of Pakistan... it played a heavy toll on all levels.
As for Bhutto and Benazeer. They are both thieves who stole from their country. They don't give two shits about Pakistan. All they want is status and money.
People are rising in Pakistan, because they want to stop being the US's lapdog. To do this, they need democracy. Unfortunately, in the current political climate there... if elections do in fact take place, there is a good chance a wackjob will take office.
What do you idiot Americans know about Pakistan, I apologise that I was not taught about racial slavery of black or genocide against native Americans, you see our culture is far more complex than obesity, Paris Hilton, McDonalds and well a tool for a president.
Sigh Americans, I think you are the biggest world threat
This comment is also going on the site, but I just wanted to say that there are nerdfighter lawyers too!!!! Those of us who look forward to holding such positions would like you to know that nerdfighter comes before lawer. Your summary was beautiful, but you missed the part where Mushalrif promised to step down as military leader!
being a pakistani myself, but removed from the country since i was little, i say good on ya. you did a hell of a job summarizing 20 years of histori in 3 mins or so. It's is ridiculous what is going on there... and it is pissing me off like nothing before! but thanks mate for the vid.

Wow. I've eaten Peeps before. Even had the chance to take a bunch of'm for free. I know for a FACT that I don't like them. But watching you down them makes me want to go out and try them. After that... there's a matter of getting rid of the rest.

John, you should do more of these! I think you should have 'Politics Friday' as well as Question Tuesday and discuss the political situation in a country of your choice... whilst eating something inedible, of course.

You've got a talent for making just about any subject interesting. I only wish my history teacher could have done that when our class had to learn about French/English relations in Canadian history.

@devilsKrEEd I'm more Pakistani than your ignorant self can ever be. You can't even type properly, let alone engage someone in an intelligent conversation. So in essence, learn some language (English, Urdu, Punjabi -- essentially whatever floats your boat) then come back with something valid to say and we'll take it from there.

@doubleaking :Well being in usa u can say that;s nice of you.What do you know about bombings in pakistan huh.I nearly escaped a bomb incident on pirwadhai mor(16 march 2009).The sight of the dead will haunt me forever. in rawalpind pakistan.Sitting in a country far away you have absolutely no right to argue just by watching cnn,bbc...I dont want to speak english,let alone write it.Due to linguistic imperialism i am helpless but still i am forced learn this bloody language for survival.

@doubleaking :So dont ever insult yourself by claiming to be a pakistani.I am proud of my country and will always defend her ideals no matter what.i will not insult english language.I love my urdu more than any other language;that implies for englishmen too as it's their national heritage.SO in essence learn about nationalism and what it takes to be a pakistani.What we are going through here cannot be understood by you.So thank u very much.I apologize if u are offended by my post 2 days ago

'Sharif, needless to say, don't like it." That is brilliance at its most nerdfightiest. And thank you for the very informative political lesson here. And for making funny faces because each time I paused this video, you have the most awesomest face ever.

i'd like to see you do more four-minute "history-lessons", because they're really informative and very interesting to watch. and it makes me want to grab a book to learn more and to read more news (i am actually a journalist, but you hardly ever fully grab the story, but only understand bits and pieces - a little overview is nice. thank you.)

Nice time line on Pakistan politics, little nerdy but says it all.
Major shift in Pakistan politics occurred when Musharraf got baptized. Ex-military call for Musharraf to go ISLAMABAD, Jan 31 (AFP) A group of retired Pakistani military officers Thursday urged President Musharraf to step down and hand over power to ousted chief justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry.

I hope that the death of Bhutto will bring people together. I hope that through her death something can be achieved. That some level of peace can be found. It's so sad to see a country torn apart politically.
Thanks John for being so concise and informative~ even with the peeps! I'm sure it really helped a lot of people understand things. Unfortunately many people don't actually know the situation, the news doesn't tell us much and I only know via my history classes.

Hey, I'm Muslim AND Pakistani (double whammy!) and I agree with Mr. Green - the situation in Pakistan has reached all time high suck levels. It's very depressing topic, to tell the truth. I never thought I'd side w/ lawyers...there's a sick picture in the NY Times of a lawyer lobbing a tear gas shell BACK at the police (STICK IT TO THE MAN!)

Major and respected political pundits would opine the radicalization of Pakistan was due to the invasion of Afghanistan, the invasion of Iraq, the threats of an Iranian invasion, the occupation of the West Bank and the horrors of the Gaza strip.
Was the initial election of G W Bush really democratic or more of an accident ??

dude. you're an idiot and you are brainwashed. you should know that terms like democracy, dictatorship, radical, terrorist, blah blah blah, are political/propaganda terms. they don't actually mean anything, except to indicate who are the "good guys" and who are the "bad guys", and based on these terms you concluded that unelected, unaccountable private power (lawyers, judges, media) are the good guys because they oppose an unelected, unaccountable military junta.

Good points. However, I would argue that the rise of extremist Islamic parties more closely correspond with Musharaf's compliance with the US's War on Terror, versus just the mere fact that he is a dictator.
The fact of the matter is, Pakistan was in an unstable state when Musharaf went into office. Then very shortly thereafter, 9/11 happened, and for the country the size of Pakistan... it played a heavy toll on all levels.
ozahid 4 years ago
As for Bhutto and Benazeer. They are both thieves who stole from their country. They don't give two shits about Pakistan. All they want is status and money.
People are rising in Pakistan, because they want to stop being the US's lapdog. To do this, they need democracy. Unfortunately, in the current political climate there... if elections do in fact take place, there is a good chance a wackjob will take office.
ozahid 4 years ago
What do you idiot Americans know about Pakistan, I apologise that I was not taught about racial slavery of black or genocide against native Americans, you see our culture is far more complex than obesity, Paris Hilton, McDonalds and well a tool for a president.
