Shirazi Dear, my drink this morning was coffee and a glass of water. Try it sometime, too. It might help to see what I see. Of course, people came out in large numbers for MQM. So what? They are oganised to the death those people. And I didn't say anything about seeing, I spoke about "vision" which sees what is not apparent to the naked eye. Shir, think, did anyone expect anything to happen of the magnitude of what did happen in Tunisia? Ditto Egypt?
Truthlover, yes, maybe a dreamer and eternal optimist, I can be called. But hard-core realists also prone to miss the truth. Which happens to be that we have reached a clearly defined turning point. Let me tell you something I feel about IK which not many people have commented on so far. I greatly trust his intuition. He's not a great intellectual, that no. But what pushes him on in life is that difficult to define faculty which makes one grasp beyond logic what is to come, about to happen. Also, please, to call our people a "herd of sheep" is not fair. The poor of Pakistan have been so despised and mistreated, they have no self-confidence or hope left. Give them a break, too, once in awhile.
And Scandinavian hit the nail on the head. It is our job now to make our people understand that what seems impossible today can really be translated into the realm of reality if only we work for it hard enough.
