The Military Destabilised My Government On Politically

Military Dictatorship Is Born From The Power Of The Gun, And So It Undermines The Concept Of The Rule Of Law And Gives Birth To A Culture Of Might, A Culture Of Weapons, Violence And Intolerance.

I Was A Very Shy Girl Who Led An Insulated Life; It Was Only When I Came To Oxford, And To Harvard Before That, That Suddenly I Saw The Power Of People. I Didn't Know Such A Power Existed, I Saw People Criticising Their Own President; You Couldn't Do That In Pakistan - You'd Be Thrown In Prison.

The U.s. Came To Understand That Bhutto Was Not A Threat To Stability But Was Instead The Only Possible Way That We Could Guarantee Stability And Keep The Presidency Of Musharraf Intact.

My Father Was The Prime Minister Of Pakistan. My Grandfather Had Been In Politics, Too; However, My Own Inclination Was For A Job Other Than Politics. I Wanted To Be A Diplomat, Perhaps Do Some Journalism - Certainly Not Politics.

When The United States Aligns With Dictatorships And Totalitarian Regimes, It Compromises The Basic Democratic Principles Of Its Foundation - Namely, Life, Liberty And Justice For All.
