<b>Thy name is sovereign-i-ty!</b>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Okay, that's fine; but at least learn how to say the word! From president and prime minister down to every blatherskite (TV anchors included) continue to mispronounce "sovereignty" that has lately latched on to their tongues and is sticking like glue to paper? Speechifying and preachy men and women have suddenly discovered that their sovereignty is under threat! <b>Never mind if their country is going south as Americans call going bankrupt; never mind if Zardari goes a-begging to New York with a kashkol and is promised donations,</b> but we don't know how much from "Friends of Pakistan" (our London-based envoy Wajid Shamsul Hassan is being credited for this beggarly brainwave); and never mind if the country itself has suicide bombers on the loose, waiting to kill.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
