Every day we are reminded that there are individuals that portray themselves as above society.  There are individuals that think that Money and Financial Power is key to happiness.  There are those that believe "First you get the money, then you get the power, then you get respect."  There is an error in this message for it speaks of no love, kindness nor compassion. 

The greatest strength of an individual is their mercy.  The greatest gift of an individual is their love.  The greatest skill of an individual is their kindness.  I have a motto I live by, Diplomacy before Dialogue.  You can not speak to someone that does not exist.  It is time for Diplomatic Relations to be Established. 

President Obama must think wisely before making the final judgement on Iran. The case for the War may have valid arguments, but not enough for a War, much less, Economic Sanctions.
An emerging political party is growing stronger and the desire for change has become a movement for justice. The international community must foster it and not hinder it. In Pakistan, a frontline state in the War on Terror, the implications are real and can determine the difference between victory and defeat. Pakistan's Tehreek-e-Insaf offers one hope, the hope of good governance.
The news of the revival of the Karachi Circular Railways may be old news for some, but for those that were hoping that the work would have started, now they can be happy that a date of completion has been set. The Project will begin construction in 2010 and be completed by 2010 at a cost of
Why have we chosen to elect leaders on the money we may receive rather than the love they give? Why have our standards declined? Perhaps, that's why we are disappointed in our leaders. They made us feel that Money is More Important than love.
For many, the honorary late Senator Edward Kennedy is remembered for his legacy, for the policies he fought for, for the family he had, and for the lives he impacted. For me, I remember Senator Edward Kennedy as the Senator that Endorsed the Then-Senator Barack Obama for a U.S. Presidential Run.
Many are calling for a change in Pakistan, but we must understand that we must help in that change rather than being a spectator of change. Pakistan's political setup needs change but this change is not possible without people like you and me rising up and contesting the Parliamentary elections. We can not expect old leaders to make new decisions or bad leaders to make good decisions. A Political Change is Needed and we must help create that change.
Iranian Protestors must listen to the Ayotollah and his message. The Ayotollah is to Shias as the Pope is to Catholics. This will only show him and help them prove to him the value of Democracy and Freedom. This is about more political rights and freedom.
Pakistan's Long March has only shown one thing, the need for new leadership in Pakistan. However, the only way we will learn that it will be successful or not is when the Judicial Institution is looked upon with equal respect from the other branches of government. The Long March has shown the Power of Nawaz Sharif, but it should show the never ending inspiration of Father Jinnah.
Pakistan's Long March represents more than a movement, it represents hopes for a stronger judiciary and the quest to stop Pakistan from becoming a failed state. But Pakistanis must stand together to stop the terrorism and put emotions aside. The Long March may have started on March 12th, 2009, but it will not end until the Judicial Branch of Pakistan is respected.
It is time to stop being envious of the personal lifes of Pakistan's Political leaders. It is time to become a tolerant Pakistan. A tolerant Pakistan must look past a public figure's personal life, but as long as their personal life does not affect public policy. It is time for Pakistanis to criticize the politics of public administration, rather than criticize them for who they are dating.
