Another dictator who didn't learn from past

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.

Often the case. I am contstantly reminded of the benefit of a benign dictator by the stories of the 'enlightened despots' of middle europe in the 19th century. As counts of small autonomous regions, on deciding to introduce reforms such as democracy the peasantry cried out that they didnt want change, they wanted to be governed by the incumbent method; an absolout monarch who cared for his people, protected them, and ran an effective government. The king of Thailand I believe has a similar standing today. Its a cracking system benign dictatorship if only one can find the right person to do the job.

Who ever said democracy was inherently the best system?
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.

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.

economic cesspool it was before he took over
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.
