10% Loose Canon

Mr Zardari had caused the clock to turn full circle.

In the eighties, his wife threw her full weight behind the then nascent terrorism in Kashmir. In what could be termed as a total turn-around Zardari has named them as terrorists and not as freedom-fighters as they are called in Pakistan.

This is the most controversial action/statement in the short time he has spent as the president of Pak. And believe the list is already impressive and pretty huge.

What does it mean to India? Not much. An honest and true to is word enemy is preferable to an indecent and conniving ally. Zardari till now has only been true to his reputation. His manoeuvres to get to the president's seat have been none other than diabolical. But while doing these, he has been tactically very strong but very weak on strategy.

He is not going to last long and even if he does, is not going to cause big changes in Pakistan's policies. So just sit down with a bowl of pop corns and enjoy the show till it lasts.
