I personally think Musharraf shouldn’t have resigned! I like the guy! He comes from a decent working class background and worked his way up!! Unlike Bhutto’s, Zardaris, Benezir, Nawaz, Imran Khan, or religiously supported Zialuhaq and Ayub Khan.

I know of his family, and his daughter used to work with me at office, and they are very sincere Pakistanis. As I am sure a lot of others are out there in Pakistan who would like to have lead this beautiful and complex nation!!

And please don’t forget that he has been increasingly very popular in his time! Untill March 2007! So if the president decided he had become unpopular after red mosque incidence and 18 February elections and was cornered to do so by a people’s representative party then he resigned in a dignified way and I salute him for a brave decision.

And I think he got his chance his tried to prove whatever his vision of Pakistan is!! Sadly if the majority of the nation doesn’t agree then its better for him to pass the torch!!

Unfortunately democracy has its own flaws, majority cant always be right, in words of Ayn Rand democray is just an idea that ‘the public interest’ supersedes private interests and rights can have but one meaning: that the interests and rights of some individuals take precedence over the interests and rights of others.

As for the uncertainty in Pakistan, Well it wasn’t dependent ever on Musharraf decision only. He was just a pawn that was moved in favor of other strategically strong players on the chess board of Pakistani politics.
