Partly Facetious : Foreign policy never based on morals

"I urge you to see the glass as half full."

"Which group do you belong to? Nawaz Sharif's supporters referred to as nawalas..."

"Nawalas? Because they only get a bite to eat when the party is in power?"

"No, the party lets loose its Gullu Butts when not in power, and the Gullu Butts then proceed to try to take a bite off the federal cabinet."

"Ah I see, and no I am not a Gullu Butt at all, look at my size."

"Size has nothing to do with it - there is verbal and physical..."

"I get it, anyway are you a Zardi?"

"Zardi as in a pale colour or the food..."

"That's zarda, male, not zardi female which is a colour, and Zardari sahib's supporters are Zardis because he requires complete loyalty from them to his own person..."

"And they don't get a chance to bite...."

"That is subject to the position in the party and the government as well as the personality of the individual involved..."

"I see, so why did you make the reference to a glass half full with respect to nawalas and zardis."

"Well, my last question is: are you a Khanzadah, Imran Khan diehard supporter?"

"He got my vote - I was tired of the status quo..."

"And that explains my suggestion that the glass is half full."

"I don't get it."

"See The Khan has now learned that foreign policy is never based on morals or ideology, it is about what the leader reckons is national interest."

"OK, but that is not the only thing The Khan has learned. The party's core committee's opinion on the court verdict against Musharraf does not reflect earlier comments by The Khan when he was not the Prime Minister."

"Hey, treason is not the same as being accused of murder. Musharraf has been convicted on the former charge not the latter so don't you go talking about 12 May and...and murder. Besides don't forget many of those in positions of power on 12 May are also in positions of power today."

"Hey, The Khan's long time loyalists have also expressed their concerns shall we say over the verdict and..."

"I have not heard any such comment. You are an obsessive compulsive person, stop. And let's not forget The Khan has also learned the value of borrowing especially from multilaterals and..."

"I stand corrected and in response to your initial query the glass is not half full but full."

"That's the spirit."
