the piece misleads the readers quite aptly – for one Bilawal was raised by his mother not AZ who was in Jail all that time. He is now grown up enough to know right from wrong.

Nothing is going to change.he is being properly changed by his father and like a loyal son he will follow his father.he knows nothing about his people,about their problems and about their solutions.he is the son of zarori and will prove no less than him.

First of all we should understand that this wasn’t a policy statement – it was a political speech and his target audience were the workers of his own party. I think we’ll have to concede – if we read Pakistan’s political history – that Bhuttos have always been a target of the establishment and of those who support status-quo. The whole story of Bhuttos from the judicial murder of ZAB to the assassination of BB is one which has all the elements of a Greek tragedy so you can’t blame him for repeating all that. Dynastic politics is a curse that is present in almost all the South and East Asian democracies and we can do nothing to change it as long as the senior leadership and the voters of that party don’t have a problem with it. The whole discussion about Bhuttos get extremely polarized because politics in Pakistan has always revolved around forces who are either pro or anti Bhuttos. I think we don’t need to be so critical about Bilawal. Benazir was also 24 years old in 1977 when her father was arrested and then she led a massive popular movement against one of the most brutal dictators in 80′s so just give this young lad a little more time and let him prove himself.

As societies transition from rural/agrarian to urban/industrial, feudal-military complex gives way to military industrial. This is happening at present in Pakistan. The military is more powerful than the feudals, so it rules, but industrialists are more powerful than the military, so they rule.

Bhuttos/Zardaris have not invested in industry, but in real estate. So with Asif Zardari this dynasty is coming to an end.

Expect the sons of Sharif Brothers et al to lead the pack in near future.

What planet are you on, this boy knows nothing of politics just because his mother was PM does not make him a policitian, hes just a kid whos lived abroad all his life in comfort whislt the people of his country were fighting and starveing to death, its about time Pakistan made its mind up what it wants to do This is not a Dynesty which they are making it now. kick the who family of no hopers into jail get new people in who will help Pakistan get back on its feet.

What has his father done Nothing Pakistani people are getting killed every day in their own cities by there own people so much crime and curruption around hes been in power 5 years what has he done Nothing the Pakistani Taliban do as they please and Zardari who has no guts lets them getaway with it, this man has no Balls and his son has learned all
