General Musharraf goes on Struggling for Legitimacy

Re # 4

``I think for now atleast Mushraff is one of the best leaders we ever had !``

I think if army had never intervened, there is a very good chance that Pakistan would have had many many leaders better than Musharraf.

``Yes everyone needs powers``

And that is why you need and do develop checks and balances in a sustained democracy.

bhay-ya legit or not Mushraff is President, who cares about being legit or not in todays world ? was occupying Iraq legit ? are we living in a ideal world ? here is a guy , whos been more then lucky to be alive and kicking and managing our country ... for me he is someone who had / and is acting as a better leader then others. Yes everyone needs powers I do , I am sure if given a chance you will grab presidency its in human nature ... don`t look at him as someone who just want to stick to the president seat look at Mushraff`s reforms and what actually he has done ... I think for now atleast Mushraff is one of the best leaders we ever had !

Why does Musharraf resemble Yahya Khan ?

Zia lasted 11 years. Ayub Khan lasted 11 years. Who long does Musharraf last ? It is 5 years and counting.

The cartoon was apt. Musharaf cannot stay in power without a pat on the back from Uncle Sam. He has to do a lot of fetching to receive those pats.
