...... Pakistanis are not anti-Musharraf. They are just anti-military
rule and anti-the-self-serving humbug which invariably accompanies
military rule. And while they may not think very highly of the
performance or achievement of leaders such as Benazir Bhutto or Nawaz
Sharif, they have lost patience with the Musharraf order's attempts to
use the shortcomings of these leaders as excuses to subvert democracy
on a permanent basis.
In any event, what's the alternative to these leaders crafted in the
last five years? Another saga in political ineptitude written by the
latest in a long line of king's parties, the Q League? The Q League
would sink the world's strongest fleet. If it is doing its bit to sink
national morale, it shouldn't be surprising.
Consider also the double standards enforced on players whose hands and
motives are less than clean. If the gratuitous assault on Pakistani
nationhood launched in Delhi by the MQM's Altaf Hussein had come from
anyone else - Wali Khan, Akbar Bugti, Attaullah Mengal, etc - the
mills of official propaganda, purveying the official truth, would have
worked overtime, creating a mighty din, and spreading the sounds of
outraged patriotism across the land. But since the statesman launching
this assault stands in the very forefront of military supporters, not
a squeak or whimper of even half-hearted protest has come from any
official quarter, the entire machinery of government reduced to the
silence of the lambs.

Not that I am taking sides, but nearly every civilian leader has been
deposed (killed), i think that he is doing what is best to stay alive.
