John Howard to head ICC?

So what is your proof? You cannot just go on labelling others as corrupt (he might be) just on a whim. Particularly considering you're raising serious allegations against a Union Minister and a long standing parliamentarian, the site you know could be in trouble.
Haha, look up wheat imports.

Sharad Pawar is not corrupt. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, corrupt, but he is *not* a porn star!

Why are you defending him? He called my mother inappropriate stuff, and referred to me as an "ape".
WTF, why would an "ape" insult be offensive? SS is Indian too.



Anyway, my big question to all Howard bashers.....are you happy with Pawar being the president of the ICC despite him being a politician?

are you seriously going to argue that Pawar is not a corrput politician ?

Please don't evade the question. Where has he been found guilty of corruption? Anyone can accuse anyone.
:laugh:
you obviously know nothing about Australia... and going by some of the comments like above.. you don't seem to have much clue about India either.

You don't like a politician. Brand him corrupt. 8-)

Where have I tried to "decode" Australia or it's psyche? I said Howard failed to win election in his own constituency. it could be due to n number of reasons. But it all points out to the fact that he was unpopular.

Did you just purposely ignore the number of federal elections he had previously won and other things mentioned by Australian voters or do you need to continue on with this embarrassing display

He might have won many elections, but fact remains he lost his last one, and literally got thrown out. I stand by all the 3 points I made. Mere vitriol by some Howard apologists here doesnt mean I have to be embarassed.

While one might say Howard's defence is atleast spirited (Andre's post was really good, although I disagree with him), some Indian posters seem to be more than happy to bring in totally unrelated Pawar's case into this, and make downright silly accusations about him like he's corrupt, inefficient etc.

If he's corrupt, he'd be charged already. If he's incompetent as a minister, he wouldn't be occupying the chair of minister for so long, and if he'd been incompetent as an MP, he'd not be winning elections like Howard.

Big LOL at Howard being "overqualified" for the job.

Which India do you live in, because I'd like to move there.

Also love how if a Prime Minster loses an election, it makes him unfit to run any organization. Because you know, becoming PM is just something you do. Never losing an reelection is what really counts.

I think you missed the point brought up by others. No one here really likes Howard, but to suggest he was incompetent is being foolish.
