And what I am trying to say is this:

If that petition/condemnation could not be made 7 years back, it can be made today.

Your opposition to the petition in the current situation is simply not understandable. In any event, whethere there was a similar petition 7 years back or not, similar demands should also have been made by the people of Pakistan on 12 October 1999. Whether the petition was signed then or not does not matter any more. We cannot bring back the past today. We can only learn from our past mistakes, and what we have learnt over the past 8 years of this dictatorship is that democracy in any form is better than a one-man absolutist rule. The sooner all of us realise the better and the sooner we all start to resist this dictatorship the better it will be for our country.
