So what you are saying is that since democratic goverments have been such a failure economically thats why nobody came out to protest? Pray tell how many people came out for Zia, Yahya or Ayub? To my knowledge not even a 10 people and thats despite Ayub Khans double digit economic growth and Zias 6% growth rate.

As far as Musharraf being a democratic dictator is concerned ..quite a few posters here seem to be convinced he is a civilian democratic leader

As far as the correlation between economic success and the lack of protests in a military dictatorship are concerned ..the thought never occurred to me ..and here I was wondering why the protests fizzled out in Burma. It was the economic success and not the use of the military! :halo:

food increases..NOT shortages..to my knowledge shrotages are something unique to military rulers like Musharraf and Ayub.

Zak, there is a reason why people dont protest under dictators that these people dont realize…

It almost like saying Stalin was massivly popular just because the Russians didnt protest…
