One thing seems to have been missed in all the protests and riots in Pakistan recently. Yes, the application of power by President Musharraf has been questioned. The real motives about the return of Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif have been talked about.
But on one, visually stunning aspect of this uprising, never seems to get a mention.
The people who have been protesting have been wearing suits.
Yes, like those hippies and young people against the Vietnam war, or the masked protesters during the 'Battle For Seattle' in 1999, these people have their own 'First.'
Television and print media has shown people in suits and business attire protesting and rioting. Lawyers.
Tell The Truthiness ; When middle class, mild mannered, well tailored lawyers take to the streets, you know there is something very wrong with your country.
