The problem is that even army dictators have not worked towards taking away arms from political parties, instead they have supplied arms and support to a party in order to break the control of another party in an area i.e. MQM created in 80s, then MQM Haqiqi created in 90s etc. I would have supported army take-overs if they were sincere, if they were working towards evolution of democratic setup... but all they do is make a drama list of what they will fix in earlier part of their career, do some short stunts and prove their efficiency then they go back to the ways of extending their power.... resulting in going back to same position.

well said
no matter how corrupt politicians are they do have some accountibility, the next government put them in jail and most of them have to abscond but there is never any accountibility for the military dictators and even their sons become industrialist and politicians, Ayub khan was by far the best of all the dictators but within 2 years after his departure the country lost its eastern half. When Army rules there is great dissent among the smaller provinces.
This government is no exception
