Our people are dying, poverty and unemployment are on the rise, but the rest of the world says that Musharraf is needed because [only] he can stop nuclear proliferation, [only] he [can launch] an operation in the tribal areas.

The image of blacks usually is one of people who are suffering from hunger, unemployment, and poverty.
