It is said that History keeps repeating itself;
And we Pakistanis off course have witnessed this phenomenon regularly.
INCOMPETENCE REPLACED BY INCOMPETENCE...number of times? Can't count;
CORRUPTION CHANGING WINGS WITH CORRUPTION..is a routine;
INJUSTICE BREEDING INJUSTICE at a frequency not matched even by Rabbits and Rodents;
JUGGLERS, LIARS, COMIC HEROES can make ......... out of us AT WILL and what is funny about it that our indulgence is voluntary and sincere, in fact can go to the extent of laying our lives for them.
