UPDATE: May 8, 2013. Imran Khan is not the be-all end-all of Pakistani politics. There's little danger that the things he will say following his injury will be any less intelligent than the things he said before it.
He is, however, the man who destroyed the world's most formidable batting attacks - perhaps ever - single-handedly. That's why
he's the post-World War I number one rated bowler.
He also was the first Pakistani to lift a cricket World Cup.
And, perhaps most importantly, he is the pinnacle of Pakistani sex-appeal.
'There have always been and always will be people who simply exude sex (who breathe it, who sweat it.) A few examples from thin air: the young Brando, Madonna, Cleopatra, Pam Grier, Valentino, a girl called Tamara who lives opposite the London Hippodrome, right slap in the middle of town; Imran Khan, Michaelangelo's David. You can't fight that kind of marvellous indiscriminate power, for it is not always symmetry or beauty per se that does it [ . . . ] and there are no means by which you can gain it.' - Zadie Smith, White Teeth

Wow, that man has charisma to the bone...haaa
Fair enough, the points you gave are valid and his contribution to Pakistani identity is definitely very big - but he himself is claiming to be able to make a difference politically by running a party and meddling with conspiracies. He is not. He gave his share, infused pride into people, gave them a reason to feel Pakistani for reasons other than e.g. religion and is also making valuable contributions until today (Shaukat Khanum etc). But he'd be a sham as a political leader. Now of course people have to decide that for themselves - but they are too blinded by the image that you have described above and their disappointment with the current leadership.
Haha, awesome. Love the chest hair patterns and I'm wondering was the google search for that image specifically due to this blog or for other reasons. If it was so....well, then, understandable. Haha.
Thanks for the good luck wishes on my adventure, but it already happened, I visited Pakistan in October and stayed till mid-November. Got to experience bombings, earth quake, conservative view points, amazing hospitality etc. I really do hope you read the blog, if you have time, you may like it and I think you'll soon realize its not as generic as it sounded from the first entry. Thanks again!I agree with you . In it something is. Now all became clear, I thank for the help and I hope to see more such articles.More details: http://www.coach7stores.com/
