Pakistan has faced political crisis from the day of its inception; the Quaid died just over an year after independence, the first prime minister was murdered in 2 years time and then started the pendulum of one government taking oath and within an year another takes its place. It continued till Ayub Khan took over. In his 11 year, there was political stability but he wasn't a elected member so the progress made in his regime reduced it to none - at least politically.
Then came another civilian role and then a military take over by Gen. Zia (who many in Pak Army believe don't even deserve to be even promoted to Major level). Anyways, his mysterious death opened the way for Benazir government and then another to-and-fro motion of regime change started which ended with Gen. Musharaf taking over as role of Chief Executive of Pakistan.
Look at the irony of this country; our military governments were more stable than our political governments...
Now after learning a lot from their mistakes - both PPPP and PML(N) have realize that from there conflict only one organization takes the benefit (though at least that's what they think) . So now there survival in longer run is only possible if they don't give any reason for people of Pakistan or Pak Army to get annoyed with their policy. Unless and until our politicians, beaurocrats and military don't feel that their prime responsibility is to serve the people not their personal interests; only then we can see progress and political harmony.
