I liked the piece about Musharaff and I don’t really agree with what you said about him and being desperate – history IS the best judge so why not look at the “taraki” Musharraf has made in our country-that can’t really be denied nor can the way he has handled tight situations in the past-I honestly don’t think he is just trying to hold onto power-army men are patriotic-that’s their defining characteristic and I don’t see him loving himself more than his country-that’s why he has left the window open to still build an allegiance with Bhutto too and I think he pulled the emergency because things were getting out of hand especially after Bhutto settled in the country-people want a democracy and Bhutto represents democracy so that’s the major reason they are all flocking to her but in the end I think she would only bankrupt our country more-she was not fit to lead before since her corrupt ways and I still think she has no actual trustworthy stability except for the fact that she is pushing in the favor of democracy- Musharraf to me has proven himself worthy of handling the country without taking a huge amount in return or cheating the country and the people from the rights that are owed to them-if he were to be elected I believe he would lead Pakistan towards a better future as he has done in his last 7 years
I do agree that in terms of declaring the emergency rule things have begun to slide for Musharraf nevertheless he has still vowed to hold elections and pullback from chief of army
I think if he is worthy enough-before elections he’ll pull something out of his hat that will win back or prove to the people that he is devoted and that his actions are justified
about the way things are being handled in Pakistan-the lawyers being man-handled and what not-obviously I’m sure that Musharraf did not want things to be done exactly like that but if u read into his actions it’s obvious he is sending out the point that for now things need to be calmer in Pakistan-since the emergency rule there have been no bombs or a absurd number of deaths and I think there is less fear overall-people are angry about the dismissal of a lot of their fundamental rights but at the same time certain things are necessary to guarantee the safety of people even though they don’t realize it.
anyhow…that’s my opinion so far from how things have happened
