Except I don`t agree with the last sentence i.e. ``now for some unknown reason Musharraf has decided to end the moment of national unity and focus on a divisive issue like kalabagh.``

He did not decide to end the moment of national unity, but wanted to use it to go ahead with a divisive issue of Kalabagh. I think he miscalculated and overestimated the unity over Kashmir on such a divisive issue as Kalabagh. Now he is out there trying to meet people and seeking their support. I think that should have been the starting point. And by God, he would be much better off by asking that idiot dacoit Shujaat Hussain to shut up.

All the stories I have heard point to the fact that the Army is doing a commendable job..the problem is one of leadership..in those initial critical few days and till sometime afterwards there was an absence of leadership from the top. Effective leadership at the top comes out in moments of crisis..sadly that was a failure..i suppose it is inevitable when the top Army leadership is so immersed in politics ..it would inevitably effect its ability to focus on a single task..now for some unknown reason Musharraf has decided to end the moment of national unity and focus on a divisive issue like kalabagh.
