"So how do you escape the forces unleashed by the President, the Prime Minister and his entire Cabinet?"
"You go into exile?"
"Well, that was what happened in the old days. That is what BB and Mian Sahib did."
"Mian Sahib was forced to do it."
"Same thing - he opted to go to exile instead of face the music like Asif Zardari."
"Asif Zardari was caught each time. I mean it's not as if he purposely came back to face the music."
"At the same time he didn't leave so as not to face the music."
"He wasn't given the option I think."
"Well OK, so being married to BB is an exercise in fortitude, especially in and around the vicinity of jails."
"Guess so."
"But I turn to my previous question. How do you escape the forces of the powers that be?"
"I give up."
"You go to NWFP."
"Yeah I heard - the government has pardoned some tribal leaders for harbouring al Qaeda."
"They had no choice. I think the President and the band of Lotas would have been unable to control larger sections of the country if they hadn't come to that decision."
"Yes you are right. But have you heard the latest? Mian Sahib Junior Most is going to return to the country and go straight to...guess?"
"NWFP?"
"Yes."
"Hey, that's cool."
"I thought so too. But the Jiyala turned Musharrafwala, Faisal Saleh Hayat has said that he would have to face the law."
"The law as determined by the Lotas I presume."
"Of course and that is where justice is at in our country! I mean the Sharif brothers did the same thing - applied laws according to their definitions. Let them suffer the same fate."
"It does come around, doesn't it?"
"Yes it does."
