All the President's men [and a woman]...could not put Humpty Dumpty together again

I don't know where to start. It is perhaps a matter of two totally different governments with two distinct styles. Indian government started the offensive the very day of the Mumbai Attack and is well into a war with Pakistan. No official declaration was thought necessary and none made. The war rages on and Pakistan is on the ropes. India is most likely to win this war without a shot being fired.

Speaking of shots fired, Zardari and his government is totally oblivious to the war already raging on so many fronts. Instead, they are waiting for the first shots to be fired. Since India hasn't yet and most likely won't use the traditional fire arms, President Zardari and his kitchen cabinet is delusional -- thinking that they are winning.

HH or Hussain Haqqani in Washington is taking credit that he is talking sense to people in the White House and others in the State Dept. He is damn good in creating a storm in a tea cup so he is at it -- day and night. He plays all sides to perfection. How else you think he got to be where he is now!

Rehman Malik, the guy who promised to deliver Osama Bin Laden to Bush for an encore, is out of depth. Mumbai Attacks are a timely reminder that he created such terrorists when he was heading the security agencies. He is selling himself now as 'set-a-thief-to-catch-a-thief'.

Sherry Rehman is calling editors and favours in local media, working everyone over to keep things calm.

Finally, the man who delivered Asif Ali Zardari to the US is well aware of everything but he is in the wrong place at wrong time. I am speaking of Salman Farooqi, the king maker. He is back from the US and very much back in the thick of the things. Only this time he is playing his final hand; he saw his man being made the President, probably he will see his man being hanged by the same sword. He always has a exit strategy; next, Nawaz Sharif?

Conclusion: In the end, all the President's men and woman couldn't fix poor Humpty Dumpty. And, what is the Prime Minister upto? To answer that I have to tell you something about monkeys. Yes, monkeys. In Vedic Metaphysics, Bharati Krsna, writes in the chapter on Bhakti Yoga and Devine Mother, that before the need arises, the needed thing is created by the nature. He gives the example of a new born monkey. When the mother jumps from one tree to another -- at a considerable distance, the infant cannot jump right after being born. So nature makes a provision -- the new born grips the mother in such a way that there is no possibility of the grip being loosened. When the mother jumps, the baby is carried, no matter how high or how far the distance. No effort is need on the part of the new born. Need I say anything more?

The last question will be what is Asif Ali Zardari doing? Well, all roads lead to him so he got to be doing something. Everyone wants to know, including yours truly. So, I asked someone quite close to him but sitting thousands of miles away. He had another monkey story for me. Too many monkies for my liking but this is how the story goes...

There was a jungle and the king of the jungle, lion, was eating up all the animals. Poor animals were scared for their lives so they went to the wise guy who happens to be the monkey. The monkey heard them quietly. Shook his head a few times. The animals begged him to talk some sense into the lion. He nodded. He then jumped from one tree to another and jumped and jumped and jumped. He huffed and he puffed -- and all the animals watched him do so. Finally, he got tired and stopped. A little bird gathered some courage and asked the monkey what he intended to do about it? The monkey rolled up his eyes in anger and said, "Didn't you see I tried, and did the best I could!"

President Zardari is working phones to everyone but his masters. This is the best he can do.
