'Zardari is a luckless president of a luckless country'

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has been unfairly criticised by media and people of Pakistan despite the fact that his wrongdoings have not come close to any of the earlier politicians of the country, according to Pakistani columnist Ayaz Amir.
"Has Zardari done anything which comes close to the unbeatable folly of the 1965 war? If anything undid us it was that foolish call to arms. We had set out to conquer Kashmir. At Tashkent we ended up lowering the casket of the Kashmir cause into the ground," The News quoted Amir, as saying.
"Do Zardari's alleged crimes measure up to the folly of General Yahya Khan who presided over the break-up of Pakistan? We couldn't stand the notion of meeting East Pakistani aspirations half-way, just as we are having a hard time now understanding Baluchi aspirations," he questions.
Amir points out that the frenzied crowds, which protested against the corruption of the Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Government in 1977, eventually got the former prime minister hanged, but along came the tyranny of General Ziaul Haq.
