In answer to the question with which the first part of this article ended, I say, why should we not further indulge ourselves towards our own obliteration? Why shouldn’t we do what the Americans ask us to do? Do we deserve better than our current conditions? To explore the above questions we first have to explore the current scenario. According to Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2009, Pakistan stands proudly with the ranking of 139 out of 180 countries. We share this position with three other countries including Bangladesh. Considering that one of our neighbours stands second last and another is at 168, maybe we should rejoice. As far as the accuracy of the CPI is concerned, it is none of our concern, what concerns us is that in an index of 180 countries we stand 139th, assuming that this position is alarming, what should Pakistan do from now onwards? But to answer yet another question, we first have to explain how we managed to get the coveted position of 139? We will now deal with each of the above questions along with new ones arising from the answers. The whole world probably knows about Pakistan by now but even so I would like...more

Getting arrested for crimes, however petty they may seem to be, is a highly stressful experience, with the stress level becoming almost unbearable in the case of major felonies. Therefore, it is completely understandable if a person convicted of a felony wants to get matters resolved as quickly as possible. It is hard enough to appear before the judge, but it could be harder if you do not have an expert attorney to defend you. Since there is a lot of anxiety, reputation and money involved in this experience, it is always best to be fully prepared.Anybody that has been convicted of a crime of any degree understandably has no knowledge of the law system on the country. Sometimes, an offer known as a plea bargain made to a defendant to make him plead guilty towards a lesser charge could be tempting. Before you realize the lesser charge could have dire consequences, you would be vindicated on the charge, which could revoke your eligibility to vote and be recruited in a company. Some states have implemented laws which make it impossible for you to remove the conviction from your records, thus ruining your career and ultimately your life.One way to escape all this trouble and tension is...more
