In Pakistan, after some time the ruling regime (premier for that matter) come up with an conclusion that s/he has become indispensable for this country and without him, the country can not seal through the difficult period, it is currently in... (interestingly they avoid addressing, if they're responsible to take this country to this place of chaos or they even now become a part of the problem) . Not surprisingly, in last 3 decades, all our premiers were in that illusion.
If we neutrally evaluate 3 of the most prominent political/military figures in Pakistani - Benazir Bhutto, Nawaz Sharif and Musharaf. Surprisingly Pakistan became more democratic, liberal, progressive and independent in foreign policy in a military ruler's tenure. We saw IT, telecom, educational reforms were introduced and first time skilled labour were prefering to work in Pakistan, infact huge number of skilled menpower came back to Pakistan.
On the whole, international image of Pakistan was improved under Muharaf regime till 2005. But suddenly like every other premier in Pakistan, he start feeling that he alone is responsible for the positive financial, social activities and without him, everything will come apart. Earlier his speaches were sense of inspiration for many, people always believed what he was saying (even though he never took-off his uniform as promise but it was not the concern of common man). He was on helm of affairs then things took a u-turn on him... came along the 'lal masjid' incident (a right decision but wrong execution) and last nail to his coffin (though I still believe it will not effect Muharaf's regime) was chief justice removal case in 2007 - it's still an on going struggle between anti-Musharaf lobbiest and Pro-Musharaf.
Today, Pakistan see at least 1-2 suicide bombings killing dozens each week. If you ask Pakistanis, what is the quickest solution to this menace, 95% (including Pro-Musharaf) would suggest to remove Musharaf and everything will normalize. Is it so and is it the right choice?
