Q3 Post11

I read an article from the Star Tribune on the uprisings in Pakistan. Prime Minister Sharif has been trying to talk and reconcile with President Zardari who competes with him for power in Pakistan. However, Sharif seems to be a hypocrite when he later on as he calls on a demonstration to overthrow the government that is being led by President Zardari. Sharif has said that he will talk with Zardari as long as the president keeps his word, as it appears he has gone back on promises several times. It seems like Sharif is a peaceful person who is willing to negotiate his way out of this political mess, but the demonstration seems to show a more violent side that says that he is prepared to start maybe a civil war with Zardari. Maybe Sharif is just keeping his options open in case the talks fail again or the president desides to not talk and just use the military to surpress the demonstrators.
