there are no suggestions that the govt. would listen to. They would have to become honest and incorrupt and that is impossible. if a country can bring back to power a person like zardari- then they deserve all the trouble they get.only way is what they did with ayub in 1968- go out on the streets - take all the assets from corrupt landowners and businessmen and get rid of all the mullahs and politicians from before- otherwise nothing
