Talal Bugti has made a fabulous offer of Rupees One Billion and 1000 acres of agri-land to one presenting him with Musharraf’s head on a platter. Too tempting an offer for any one to resist, especially in these hard days of high inflation! My first concern is that if Musharraf doesn’t return to Pakistan how would the would be assassin avoid being apprehended by the UK police? Next, even if he co

P.S. Kindly note it is not an effort to promote Musharraf for a come back. It is just to call a spade a spade. He MUST not come back, especially if he has to keep the company of ANY politicians (ANY politician). A pure and simple Presidential form of government would suit him if he can manage one some how.
