Food for cynics?

I had a fit of patriotism plus social awareness a few minutes ago so I went reading today's dawn online, and stumbled across a pretty hilarious article in which dear Nawaz offers his esteemed advice to President Zardari (if only there was some cyberspace pathway to project sarcasm in that) on governance. I quote "Prime Minister Gilani in his speech in the National Assembly on Nov 3 had remarked that he would welcome suggestions and recommendations from those who had misgivings about the government`s commitment to good governance. It is in the spirit of his offer that I want to share some of my thoughts with you, as I have done in the past with all sincerity" Yeah, that's what "Mr. Sharif" says in his letter. Seriously, the name "Nawaz Sharif" in itself is an oxymoron. Now I'm wondering if this new letter will be fresh fodder for the cynics who've come to believe Pakistani politics are doomed or maybe an extra point for the ones who argue there's still hope. Either way, I just think it's funny.
