Dear Mushy,
People have problem when I get too personal with them, what can I do, I am like this only. I feel that at this point of time when you are really alone in this global community you will feel these so very personal and lovely words as nectar. Man what in hell were you eating or drinking when you took this F^(%#) up decision. I know, even having such a long time relationship and a very healthy camaraderie you will ask me to shut up citing that its none of my business. Have you gone crazy, you are my beloved neighbor, I have every thing to do with it and with your subjects.
I know power is a beautiful thing which makes people dirty, but why on this planet do you feel that you on your not so big shoulders and a small brain( when compared to mine) that you can turn the fate of your nation in a very small time period and that to by a very undemocratic manner. When your subjects see that their friends in here, can bash their leaders in a free nation like India freely then they feel like killing people like you. I dont want you to be dead, at least not now. Even if we take that power is necessary to you like your uniform being your exoskeleton (pseudo armadillo) then too, you need to extend emergency for a longer period, say 2 years. Whats the damn logic in keeping it short, bringing in a puppet caretaker government so early and then elections by January? You are wasting your nations resources and your brain, dont do it, just dont do it. Mushy, sit, take some deep breaths, and think…you need power and respect that was the reason you took that seat. Pakistani people like Indians have short memory, and the so called American pressure will go down as their elections are nearing, extend the bloody election as long as possible. I personally dont see any need for emergency, but if you really think it is right ( by the way what were your logics?) then there is no need for elections right now.
See, I tell you the action plan, postpone the elections, give your speech to nation( yours not mine ) on 1st of January and tell your people that since the situation of your nation is still not under control {read: your control (when were they in control?)} so you can not conduct elections now, and give them some vague date lets say 23 May, my birthday. People will come on road, burn buildings, dont worry none of them were made by you, they will die, take 3 deep breaths, they are not your kin. If you see problems are increasing and people are making some wonderful plans to kill you, then go for a foreign trip, on pretext that you want others to understand your problem. This will serve two purpose, 1. You will get international limelight, 2. Their security is better than yours, you will be secure there. By the time you return, things will be calmer, people would have already wasted there ammunitions. Hey, a word of caution, there can be “Takhta Palat”, so to avoid it, feed your subordinates and every time you go outside do make it a point that you visit your Switzerland based account and put some more cash and kind in there. If your detractors become successful in “Takhta Palat” dont worry…you are not in Pakistan, take refuge in some better and calmer place, which means any other nation than Pakistan, dude you already have enough money for you and your family.
Its a friends job to give right advice, so I have done my job, but my Mom is really angry with you. You never felt it necessary to inform us about your plans. One more thing, why do you say that it was the most difficult decision of your life, you always wanted emergency. When you said, “… I stand by it because I think (?) it was in the national interest…” I was impressed, and I think you can go to the extent and say that when you pee its in your nations interest.
Mushy, my exams are around the corner and they are lot more tricky than your countries situation, hope you understand my situation and dont take my cutting short of this letter otherwise.
Waiting for our reply.
Yours Truly
Kax
