    With any luck, Pakistan will return to being the economic cesspool it was before he took over. And with your new Islamic leaders, I predict you'll be at war with India within months. Enjoy his departure, things are going to be bleak soon, because you idiots kill or run off any decent leadership.

    India can't even move his dick as long as we have nukes. Indians know it very well and they have tried a lot of times in past too.

    Actually he did show dreams to common Pakistani about economy, so called booming stock market and investment while in reality it was game of few guys who had been manipulating entire stock market since the PM of Pakistan was an economic expert thus he used his evil mind to play with numbers. When reality came out, it was found out that nothing happened as such.

    He was decent for you Americans not for Pakistanis so offcourse you will mourn anyway. Majority of Pakistanis are quite happy here.

      So another dictator surrendered. This time Musharraf. The dictator who was the strongest leader in Pakistani history quit like a rat when his allies back in Washington finally showed his back and he got no option. Ironically Musharraf is not being accepted by his FRIENDS country, US,UK,KSA or even TURKEY where he spent Childhood and considered his Vatican of Secularism since he is a fan of Ataturk. I Don't claim I know a lot about world dictators but observed few in my country and then guys like Saddam. One thing seems common in all. They are initially fed by US for US interest. America cunningly pampers them initially and make then feel that they are the best by providing them all kind of aid and support, then America use them for its own interest as long as they are giving output. Once they start failing, America show them back as if they they were never known. SO it's Zia or Saddam or Musharraf. They tasted similar fate despite of being educated and knowing history of past dictators. They never remember that America is just like a "client" for a prostitute. As long as prostitute has charm, she is blessed but once she loses all charm, she's thrown away like a used condom. Now if stupid prostitute starts dreaming of being a "wife" of her client then it's not client fault. I wonder why these dictators don't learn at all. Why is it so hard or is really power and money so magical that it makes one dumb enough that one even forget to use its mind. quite surprising and confusing as well.

      Actually, I agree with you in some points you have made. I know you are suprised. US had a very good relationship with musharaf and the world recoginized his rule. So whats next? Are you going to a democratic election? Who is the most popular candidate to win? moderate or Extremist?

        Umm you've got that the wrong way round. As far as I know the US played no part in Mushy siezing control and even the warmonger Blair sulked at him for a bit. True once the US saw he could be of use to them they became his best buddies and that got him into a lot of trouble at home. In fact as part of the US's were are the good guys honestly we are they are probably more responsible for his downfall than his rise in that I'll bet it was US influence that started him down the path of moderation and elected governments. True it was only after he tried to arrest everone that disagreed with him but hey every process has it's hiccups. It's also true that once they noticed the fan was starting to get a bit ripe they started looking for someone else fast.

            Why election when there is already a party in power?

            depends on how do you define a Moderate or extremist. Musharraf was a left wing extremist for the country who wanted to enforce his rules in Pakistan to make it another Turkey. Irony is that apart from other countries, Turkey is also not willing to give him a long stay.

              Who elects Presidents in Pakistan? Parliament or direct vote from the people? A moderate in the Arab/Islamic world is defined as someone who shows willingness to promote dialog over conflict with different cultures/religions. A moderate also condemns targetting of civilians and works with international governments in support of international Security. Moderates support freedom of speech and human rights as defined globally in the UN. Thats what I can think of right now.

                    certainly you guys have no friggin idea about Pakistani politics. Musharraf created a party which was purely Feudal based because democracy and dictatorship can't lie in same slot. Apart from his party PML(Q), the other party in Karachi MQM which is controlled from his London exiled Chief is also a dictator party since only one man decides the fate of every issue of party so in reality Mush had only supported feudals who could speak his tone.

                        since when a dictator start noticing Public pressure? he got dishearted after having no support by Army internally and cold attitude of US,Saudia and UK.

                        Better than dictatorship. Atleast ruler is responsible to answer to parliment. The reason US-India deal is not getting done easily is due to democracy and their PM is not free to decide on his own. If it was Musharraf orany other dictator, he would have signed the deal with US along with some % of commission for his efforts.

                          Trouble is, they almost all decide to have their sons inherit the job. And sons of dictators don't seem to inherit their father's benignity. Of course, you can have a strong praetorian guard to winnow out the losers.

                                So another dictator surrendered. This time Musharraf. The dictator who was the strongest leader in Pakistani history quit like a rat when his allies back in Washington finally showed his back and he got no option. Ironically Musharraf is not being accepted by his FRIENDS country, US,UK,KSA or even TURKEY where he spent Childhood and considered his Vatican of Secularism since he is a fan of Ataturk. I Don't claim I know a lot about world dictators but observed few in my country and then guys like Saddam. One thing seems common in all. They are initially fed by US for US interest. America cunningly pampers them initially and make then feel that they are the best by providing them all kind of aid and support, then America use them for its own interest as long as they are giving output. Once they start failing, America show them back as if they they were never known. SO it's Zia or Saddam or Musharraf. They tasted similar fate despite of being educated and knowing history of past dictators. They never remember that America is just like a "client" for a prostitute. As long as prostitute has charm, she is blessed but once she loses all charm, she's thrown away like a used condom. Now if stupid prostitute starts dreaming of being a "wife" of her client then it's not client fault. I wonder why these dictators don't learn at all. Why is it so hard or is really power and money so magical that it makes one dumb enough that one even forget to use its mind. quite surprising and confusing as well.

                                Just so you're reminded of the questions you haven't answered, which is the reason I keep starting threads and trying to restart the discussion Adnan Siddiqi wrote: Very easy, by noticing conflict. for instance if there is an article in which a block is coded as: if(condtion){ foo++; } and then there is another article with your name where I find: if(condtion){foo=foo+1;} OK - I give up. What sources do you rely on to know what Jesus really said, as opposed to what others claim He said ? Adnan Siddiqi wrote: If there was no such errors in Bible, there was no reason to 'Islam' was sent on earth. And yet, the existance of the New Testament does not assume any errors in the OId. Instead it assumes a God whose will had been accurately recorded, and was being fulfilled. That's where Christianity assumes a more powerful God than Islam, one who is able to make sure that His will is accurately preserved and presented to future generations. Adnan Siddiqi wrote: Now God as a Product Owner knew that His product was not transferred properly and people had screwed it up after certain period. Thus he sent another manager with same product(the message) with new cover(Quran now). The message is same but different cover. OK - but you have to either reject the New Testament, or reject the Quran, they are mutually incompatible. You reject the New Testament, fair enough. But on what basis do you then not reject Jesus also ? Adnan Siddiqi wrote: So when GOd had capability to send Messengers from ADam to Jesus then how all of a sudden God could become incapable that He could not Muhammad(SAW)? Because Mohammed is both not needed ( in that Jesus fulfilled God's plan ) and does not add anything of value, unless the New Testament and Jesus are both a sham. Islam is completely against the God presented in the New Testament. Adnan Siddiqi wrote: c but don't underestimate your God I don't. I believe that He was able to preserve His Word, and I see how if Jesus was not real, then given that Mohammed did not fulfill the old testament prophecies fulfilled by Jesus, the God of Islam is one who cannot keep His promises. Adnan Siddiqi wrote: Even in Bible you have read that God could do anything when He could produce Jesus from Virgin Mary(AS). I'm not sure of your point here. I am not limiting God except in the way He limits Himself ( by assuming He keeps His Word )

                                Christian Graus No longer a Microsoft MVP, but still happy to answer your q

                                  I did not refer to Mushara as moderate or not. I meant the next candidate(s).

                                    dont worry about Pakistan. Think about saving the ass of yours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Um how many coffins so far? around 100,000 now(officially)?

                                      You've already admitted you no absolutely nothing about some of the worst dictators of this or the last century. It is possible of course that in your local madras "dictator" translates as leader of a country that doesn't hate the U.S.
