Poll of experts, scholars and astrologers

Although these days more rational, pollsters take the role of oracles, many people still find comfort horoscopes witness the popularity of their views based on your date of birth newspaper column. Although I am usually very cynical, I doubt stellar and digital instances based on a couple of strange accurately predict shaken.

I, as Minister of Information in our embassy in Washington in 1990, one of the tasks of our small press section is to collect newspaper clippings about Pakistan and the region, every morning, a senior embassy staff and distributed to them. These will also be sent to the Ministry of Information in the week diplomatic pouch.

In April or May, I forgot, subordinates called my attention to a very lightweight magazine syndicated column by famous astrologers in the country. She predicted that in the article, the Bhutto government will drop in August. In the event, it was overthrown by the support of the president and the army on August 6.

Of course, the PPP government is crumbling, and continue to be shaken by the opposition parties and military facilities. But how astrologers month on Earth, right? At that time, I just told my subordinates to throw away the article, because we can not be in circulation per garbage Print eerie prediction about Pakistan.My second example in 1999, Musharraf staged a coup shortly after, send Nawaz Sharif packaging. I was coming over for dinner, my old friend Javed Mashadi astrology and numerology, a serious student. Remember, this is a hit due to the military coup, as well as our nuclear test in Pakistan a year ago in the book of a sanctions.

Javed announced very seriously, according to his calculations, he can see 10 good year for Pakistan's economy is coming. The presence of people jumped on him, and asked him how he would make such absurd economic forecasts flat on its back. He shrugged and said he did not know how this would happen, but he can be foreseen.

Sure enough, we soon will have a September 11, Pakistan has become a favorite destination of the leaders of the Western countries, and become their blue-eyed boy Musharraf. Loan write-offs, grants, aid and military toy boy down suddenly, expand our foreign exchange reserves to a healthy level, the stock market boomed, cheap loans, a rapidly expanding middle class.

While I do not share Javed's next forecast, because of its disturbing nature, I am obsessed with all predictions made on the U.S. presidential election on November 6. Although pollsters has been working overtime, predictable results, astronomers have not in the idle state. Lady Alkatiri again syndicated American columnist, see a close game to the end of Obama's favor.

According to her, the incumbent Leo Leo on election day, his moon sign transition, or some of the red tape. Romney, apparently not so lucky, is doomed to lose a small margin. This conclusion on the basis of opinion polls show Obama with a small, but continuous lead, although she can be easily reached, I learn better, but not completely discount this prediction.

Some astronomers like Lynn Hayes to play it safe, by concluding predicted that will not have a winner, even though she would not say this is constitutionally permissible. A serious article explores the 269 electoral votes, each scene, the two candidates were tied. In such an unprecedented situation, will be elected by the House of Representatives, the Republican majority, on behalf of the Romney for President. The Senate, Democrats are expected to retain their majority, will vote in favor of Biden as Vice President.

In order to prevent fraud, both the deployment of thousands of volunteer lawyers, Republicans and Democrats infantry training, supervise the vote and report any misconduct. Democrats, especially the legal aspects of the key swing votes will determine the results of this very tight election.

The risk of allegations and counter-allegations will land in court the delay results published in the country. Imagine a scene in the entire world hold their breath, while about to be ordered by the court in a few close game. Because of this, the Democratic Party still can not forgive Gore to throw in the towel too soon highly controversial 2000 recount process in Florida. Many people believe that if he is to continue his legal battle in the Supreme Court, the result - history - with a lot of different.

Due to the long-term and very expensive sport, build to a climax, the rest of the world needs to provide entertainment for them, every four years, we would like to thank the American people and systems. Around $ 1 billion in spending, both in the home stretch stretching every sinew.

While Obama continues to maintain a small lead in the opinion polls, a small proportion of the two candidates separated still significant. In addition to excitement to see a close game, the problem is not the whole world of other elections.

Many Pakistanis believe that the Republican victory, the better for us, but also not suggested Romney would reduce the number of unmanned aerial vehicles to combat terrorists in the tribal areas. On the other hand, if he is elected, the possibility of an attack on Iran will increase.

So, all said and done, I'll bet Obama's tense, scraping home. Frankly, I welcome this result, if only because he than candidate Mitt Romney, he has reinvented itself so many times, anyone, including him, it is difficult to know that he is a more wise and honest people.
