The reasons for military interventions are simply reluctance to give up their over-lordship of Pakistan and ambitious (read power hungry) COASs. The acrobats of politicians are secondary issues. From paid defenders of geographical boundries of Pakistan (and failing it in 1971), they have taken upon themselves to define politics in Pakistan and defend ``ideological boundries`` of Pakistan as well. These are the areas they can not fail. They have never conquered Jammu or Amritsar across the border but conquered Islamabad three times already.
If Musharraf is so important to bring true democracy through constitutional amendments that he has already made and through remainnig at the helm for 5 years that he has already claimed through referendum, why does he want to remain COAS for the next 5 years? The position of COAS is not related to true democracy, constitutional amendments, presidency for 5 years and a seat at NSC. Am I wrong?
Second point is that democracy never comes through back door and totally rigging the election. Nobody can honestly and seriously believe that Musharraf`s supported Sarkari League can win an election, not even coming in at second position.
October 10, 2002 will be as farcical as Referendum, if Sarkari League is pronounced a winner!
