This makes me wonder how a Muslim state as Pakistan often considered and criticised by the west as a nation whose women have no equal rights and are oppressed.Has to its credit of having twice elected a female Prime Minister which of course was the late assassinated Mrs.Benazir Bhutto.Who took up the reins of one of the largest Party of Pakistan namely the,Pakistan Peoples Party after her Late father and Prime Minister.Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto death.The same party today is the ruling party, in Pakistan with Mr.Asif Zardari ,spouse of Benazir Bhutto as the President.
It appears they have surpassed US and the west in this department !!Even their Speaker of the National assembly (lower house) is a women,Mrs.Fehmida Mirza.
Strange then why does the west criticise them ? It is sheer hypocrisy and propaganda by the west against the east.
The fact is that women in South Asia and South East Asia have more equal rights to their opposite gender then the western females!Specially judging from the names like,Indira Gandhi (India),Bandranaike (Sri Lanka),Hasina Wajid(Bangladesh) and Benazir Bhutto (Pakistan).
Some are of the view and consider that the above ladies got where they did because of being the close relatives of famous male political personalitys like ; Benazir being the daughter of a man who had charisma you either loved or hated, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, there was no mid way with him and Benazir had been groomed by him and had the same kind of following. Indira Gandhi's father, Nehru, another charismatic person, India has yet to outgrow the Nehru family. Hasina Wajid daughter of another charismatic leader, Mujibur Rehman. Bandranaike took over after her husband died.
So even if all these ladies had very successful men behind them, but fact of course was the voters gave them their votes, despite the fact that they were women. I don't think that men in South Asia are prejudiced against women, how can they be when in their early years they are ruled by their mothers and in the later years by their wives.
Being sibling of illustrious personalitys is no crime or matter of shame.If winning due to that without them having their own personal abilitys was the only factor,then Miss.fatima Jinnah wouldnt have lost the general elections against Field Marshal.Mohd Ayub Khan,in early 60's. After all she was the sister of the founder of Pakistan Jinnah.George Bush Jr was the son of a formers US president.Hillary Clinton lost the elections inspite of being the former 1st lady as wife of President.Bill Clinton ?.
Possibily,USA may need someone so charismatic and strong to be in that post. The era from which USA is seeing itself passing can be handled by a wise and committed leader. Woman Leader can be carrying that attributes as we see.I think USA's citizens have not yet found any such leader yet otherwise they may had chosen someone for this seat long ago!! I don't know if there is any legal or legislative binding exists, but the only reason I see is the absence of any such Woman leader in the history of USA. But ,it would amount to being naive to say that out of 50+ states of one of the most powerful,advanced and literate nation like the US, not one or two woman matching above stated characteristic for a leader has yet taken birth ! Secondly there isnt any legal or legislative binding or restraining females to stand for the Presidential election.
I feel,this show that sexism exists more there then the South Asian and South East nation countrys as propagandized by them and the west.It is a fact that nations less in all respect to the US have been within decades of some of their nations inception produced such female head of states,namely.(late) Mrs.Indira Ghandi,(late) Ms.Benazir Bhutto,Mrs.Hasina shaikh Wajid,Mrs,Bandranaike.
The question is if these small nations were able to find such talented charismatic female leaders in decades not forgetting western countrys like Uk , with reference to Mrs.Margaret thatcherformer Prime Minister of England and the Chancellor of Germany etc .How come US since its inception in centurys have been unsucessful ? The truth is that there isnt any dearth of brilliant females to be worthy candidates to their opposite genders in America.The problem as I see it is that the average American males are possibily chauvinists in mentality.They have that phony machoism attitude towards the females in that country.They dont want their women folks beyond a certain level of public office. Probably,If they had their way completely they would restrict the women folks to the extent of their bed and not any further.Lol
What a shame ! I hope that the emancipated, enlightened,educated,intelligent and brilliant but naive and simple females of the american population would now realise that they are not as free as they believe themselves to be.!!!

Why,the clubbing of the two countries, as AF-PAK ?
By: Mushtaq Ahmad Sethi | 10/12/2009 | PoliticsThe first objection, I have is the clubbing of the two countries Afghanistan and Pakistan, as Af-Pak. They have always been two separate sovereign states with completely different, historical background, landscape, cultural, traditional, economys, literacy, territorial and population sizes, militarily and society etc. In short the only thing common between the two country’s are religion and the common line known as the Durand line which is shared but only distinguesh them as two entities....
