Pres.Musharaff is the best thing happened to Pakistan.
Heres a man who is commited towards Pakistan - comes from a normal family.
I am a Urdu Speaking Man myself - and my visits to Lahore and interior Punjab left me with the impression that Punjabis view Mushraff in the light of ethinicity and nothing else .
Here I would like to add that - its high time that after re-election as president of Pakistan - Mushraff should gave up the uniform.

Read "As far as the common man goes, the condition of the average Pakistani has not improved during the tenure of Musharraf"

as "As far as the common man goes, the condition of the average Pakistani has not improved during the tenure of Musharraf even though billions of dollars of US bribes have been flowing in"

As far as the common man goes, the condition of the average Pakistani has not improved during the tenure of Musharraf. Inflation is high, which affects the poorest of the poor and profits and profit repatriation of the foreign multinationals who have bought out Pakistan at pennies to the dollar has increased 800% or more. The dynamic set in place by being America's "bitch" set in place by Musharraf has also ensured that the fringe Jihadist groups become mainstream, which will harm the people both security wise as well as materially in the coming years. The so-called "reforms" are all window dressing. Justifying holding a whole country hostage and enslaved to foreign desires is not something that can ever reform this country or lead to its democratic institutions evolving. The military needs to be kept out of all politics or it will seek inroads into the political directorate time and again (doing America's bidding) ensuring the kind of civilian politics of the "stop gap" and "corrupt" sort that we see in Pakistan. Very disappointing article, that tries to legitimize dictatorship in the guise of Western "reform", when all this does is weaken political institutions in the country. The "dog" has outlived his usefulness for the Americans and needs to go, the Americans themselves will take care of that, even under a bad civilian leadership, people have greater representation than in a dictatorship of the Musharraf sort, and whenever people have representation, conscious people like the people of Pakistan, made conscious due to circumstance, then we have hope for something better in the long run...

Hi,

At the height of Chief Justice crisis, I submitted an article to chowk captioned

Gang-rape of Pakistan

Chowk editors have apparently opted not to publish it.

For my fellow chowkies and for the sake of posterity (ta ke sanad rahe that I too did raise my voice) I am posting a blog link to it. It is a letter that sent to all corps commanders of Pak army.

http://gangrapeofpakistan.blogspot.com/

Sorry, very sorry, that comments are not very article specific.

Regards

MMI

Re: # 1 reader should read book by masadi.name of book:Life and death under usa domination.
He explains good dynamics what is going here and around world. He is powerful as he is telling truth, its harsh truth and it is different way of looking at things and how country was managed for by usa god fathers.
Will india take bet and make nuclear attack on pakistan ?
and becaome cannon fodder of American generals. They may do secret things like bombings, exploding bombs at electric towers, railways, gaspipelines. Cost effective and deniable. If they start openly making problems they will be getting massive retaliation by nuclear and china will get involved by sending missiles on India and russia sending on Pakistan and 3rd world war. If you think too much imagination runs wild.

Very depressive and article with -ve attitude. The things never go as bad as one can imagine nothing is predictable in political changes. Ruling by Mrs . Bhutto is quite depressing and any sane will prefer the status quo. Things balance and equilibrium will be saught and compromise will be reached bringing stability to regime. ( Stability what is required- law and order 1st duty of govt, ruler primeminister or army chief does not matter to avaerage people but law and order due matters, who ever can give this that regime is welcome it does not matter if election elected rulers or army rulers is the truth. Mr. Romair has right ideas.)
