It is start of the end. We have seen this before in Eastern Europe, Russia, and many other states where the corrupt shameless self-proclaimed leader will not leave till people common go and take the person out.

Zardari, PPP’s new chief, has refused to make any deals with Musharraf and his people. Musharraf regime has immediately revived a 10 year-old corruption case against PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, who is accused of stashing USD 55 million in kickbacks in Swiss bank accounts.

In a move seen as a pressure tactic against Zardari, whose party won the most seats in Monday's general election, lawyers representing the Pakistan government on Wednesday urged a Swiss court in Geneva to prosecute him on accusations that he and his wife, slain former premier Benazir Bhutto, took bribes from Swiss cargo inspection companies and hid the money in the Alpine country.
