The Pakistani middle class has demonstrated that it not only understands the importance of the rule of law, there are thousands of Pakistanis who have made personal sacrifices (loss of career, or getting injured or even laying down their lives) for liberty and the rule of law.

Musharraf, otoh, has demonstrated that he is a nothing more than a egotistical, self-serving, law-breaking scoundrel.
