I agree bias/hate does have blinding effect, many people in hate of Musharraf get blinded and not see good things achieved in his era, though I am a criticic of Musharraf myself but I do appreciate educational reforms, PhD as requirement for professor/lecturer in universities, some economic achievements. I think Dr Atta's appointment was one good thing of that time too.
Believe me, from the news I am getting, all good works of last 8 years are going down the drain very fast in Pakistan, and probably that is what Pakistanis deserve (according to words of President Musharraf ... Pakistan ka Allah hee hafiz hay). Things are getting from one worse situation to another. Jobs in Pakistan are again on 'sale'. Merit has gone out of window and people are getting government jobs, even in educational institutions, on basis of connections or good payments (rushwat).
You may have heard propaganda of MQM collecting 'Bhatta', but compare to crooks and thugs of PPP, PMLN, and others, even if it is true, those 'Bhatta' is peanuts. I heard today that one big industrial group of Pakistan got demand for '15 billion rupees' as 'Bhatta' ... not from MQM but from ... I am leaving that for you to guess :).
Today, many industrialists have started getting demands to pay millions or ..., that is causing industrialists closing down their businesses and moving out of Pakistan. During last 6 months, according to some estimate, people have moved around $70 billion dollars out of Pakistan. Today, even property prices in Pakistan are crashing fast as people could not find buyers.
