DAWN.COM | Pakistan | President Zardari under pressure after NRO ruling

Pakistan’s Supreme Court declined to extend a martial law ordinance that granted amnesty to high politicians charged with corruption. Chief among those newly liable to prosecution is president Asaf Ali Zardari. He probably cannot be impeached or tried while in office, but his position has been weakened. His opponents are calling for his resignation.

This sort of political crisis does not frighten me. They will just have new elections if it comes to that, and someone else will be president. Likely it will be Nawaz Sharif of the Muslim League , who has a grudge with Taliban now, as well.
