Comments on: The General in His Labyrinth http://www.chapatimystery.com/archives/homistan/the_general_in_his_labyrinth.html what is the vertiginous chapati saying to me?

He must stay in power and he must wear uniform. Neither Bush nor General Sahab were interested in Democracy for Pakistanis. Bush was I think more interested in Pakistan's hunt for Bin Laden. But he was definitely not interested in democracy or englightened moderate Islam for Pakistanis. At least Sardar Ji was clear about his one point agenda which was the permenant seat in the UN security council. Musharraf, unlike previous UN festival, has failed to get positive press. This time Musharraf's intentions were hidden behind the fog of his hunger for power.

And today we have almost exactly the same situation where Mushy wants be Pres as well as Army chief; any of the Supreme Court judges that disagree with him get sacked (think back two years); he is personally deciding which politicians have a place in the system or not. To be honest, I think he does have the best of intentions for the country behind all of this (unlike Mian sahib, or Mohtarma)... but it seems like its all gone to his head now. He genuinely thinks that everything he's doing is in the best interests of the nation and that he has been charged with correcting everything himself. In retrospect, maybe Nawaz with his wrong actions for the wrong intentions was easier to deal with than Mushy with wrong actions for the RIGHT intentions.

Both would then live in or close to their ancestral homes. Can we exchange Musharraf and Singh? Both would then live in or close to their ancestral homes.
