Tariq Ali: Truth About President Zardari

Acclaimed author and Pakistan analyst, Tariq Ali, provides a scathing assessment of Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari. He points out Zardari's dismal public support, massive corruption, and hostility towards independent judiciary. Remarkably, these very characteristics have endeared him to American neocons to do their bidding in Pakistan.

Could there be a more damning indictment of a country and its people with Asif Ali Zardari as their President? He is one of the most corrupt people in the history of Pakistan and is an ardent enemy of judiciary and democracy. It is sad to note that the reason he is in power is because America perceives his above-noted traits to be good qualifications for doing their bidding. Can Americans not see that forcing such a degenerate on Pak people will only make matters worse in the long run?

100% truth. Tariq Ali is great . Not many people dare to say this.He is well informed and educated.

to hell with PPP, Muslim Leaque, ANP and MQM in Pakistan only Danda works coz our nation is so dumb keep chosing same corrupt leader again and again. I think communist,army or revolution like happened in Iran will b way better for Pakistan than our politicians

Poignant analysis from Tariq Ali.

Nevertheless, the sad fact is that Pakistan is a failed experiment and its creation is a grotesque mistake.

A strongly secular,undivided and non -aligned India is best.

He is right. ZARDARI IS THE MOST CORRUPT AZZHOLE, installed by the WEST in pakistan, so that PAKISTAN does NOT progress. Furthermore, if you put a corrupt president in power; he will listen to you and will be your puppy, just like Afgahnistani president, just like Iraqi puppet government, just like current Pakistani government.Today is 8th August 2010. Zardari is president only because his dead wife left the party to Zardari in her will. What kind of democracy is that?ZARDARI shud be in jail
