Partly Facetious: Democracy dictates might is right?

04 Jun, 2015

"Sepp Blatter has resigned."
"Who in the world is he?"
"He was the head of the Football Association FIFA and had won the elections less than a week ago..."
"Ah, but he took on the powers that be - the US is investigating corruption against FIFA and..."
"But wasn't he defiant? I mean the guy got elected after the US arrested some FIFA guys and democracy dictates..."
"Democracy in third world and some institutions like FIFA dictates that might is right - the West, where all the money is my friend, yours and mine..."
"What do you mean?"
"Savings of our rich people are in the West as you know."
"Dubai is not the West."
"Ah yes, it's Arab with Western infrastructure that attracts not only Western tourists but also brown sahibs and..."
"Oh dear, I give up. But anyway I would call on the powers that be in the Pakistan Cricket Board to consider Blatter's resignation as a role model..."
"The powers that be have already considered that and withdrawn his candidacy for the Chairman of ICC that is Pakistan's this year and..."
"You can't equate the two I mean Blatter was legitimately elected, unlike the guy in the PCB, the guy in the PCB is in power because those in power remain in power if you know what I mean..."
"No I don't."
"'The Patron-in-Chief MMNS remains in power."
"What does MMNS stand for? I know Mighty Man Notably (in control over all he) Surveys."
"Don't be facetious - I am referring to none other than Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif. Beat the number of these syllables Khan sahib if you an."
"That would require the insertion of Niazi in his last name."
"Now, who is being facetious?"
