Re: EMERGENCY IMPOSED IN PAKISTAN
Quite honestly, if there was ever an excellent opportunity to cleanse Pakistan of scumbag extremists - it is NOW....the Goverment has absolute freedom and Mushy, of course, is the President-cum-COAS.
Under a democratic setup - I don't see people like Benazir, Sharif etc ever being free enough to take tough decisions.
So Musharaff can either make the most of this situation - walk the talk - or ruin it forever for Pakistan.
So bottomline - this is a momentous occasion for Pakistan (and by extension for its neigbors - including India).
