 President General Pervez Musharraf said on Saturday his government has introduced "real democracy" in Pakistan by empowering people politically and economically.
| I'm a really slender young guy, with a head full of wavy blond hair. I can touch my toes without anything breaking, too... |
"Democracy essentially means empowerment of people, progress of the county and freedom of expression... What else does democracy mean?" the president said at public gathering after he inaugurated a one-kilometre bridge linking the tehsils of Jhelum and Pind Dadan Khan.
| Individual liberty? Freedom from being bossed around by any holy man who decides you're not hairy enough? The freedom to become a Unitarian? |
| or even (gasp) an unveiled femalian???? |
| When was the last time anybody in Pakland saw a titty? |
| It was Monday last, when Mahmoud and Chaudry sneaked into a Bollywood double-feature in Lahore's low rent district. The movie was barely into the first big dance number when Mahmoud and Chaudry were set upon by djinns, and had to leave to go make wudu. By the time both of them completed ghusl, the djinns had gone, but when they went back to their seats, the djinns were waiting for them again. |
"The local government system has taken root with the completion of the first term, the Senate elections have taken place and the next general elections will be held in 2007 on completion of the assemblies' five-year term," he said, adding that this would be the first time that the assemblies have completed their five-year term. Having achieved economic stability, Musharraf said, the government is now focusing on reducing reduction, creating employment and controlling inflation. |
