So the Saudi "Election system" (if we can ever call it one) is comparable to Pakistan?
FYI! Egyptians do not use assemblies and senate based voting for electing their president.
It boggles ones mind how you come up with such comparisons!
Did I compare him to the Saudi system?
However he is in league with Mubarik, Saddam and Assad. The fact that the means i.e. method of election is different is neither here nor there. The ultimate result of achieving over 90% results by rigging the election system is the same.
Why did he not take of his wardi before the elecitons and why did he not take the vote from the new assemblies as is the norm. The answer is that in a free election he would have got less than 10 votes.
Well Musharraf won 55% of the Electoral College votes, and that mandate should be clear enough to our superior justices when they make their final decision.
The President won votes from an array of pro-Musharraf and opposition parties. Not just PML Q, MQM, PPP (Sherpao), PML (Functional), FATA tribals on the govt side, but also ANP, BNP (Awami), JWP, and MMA dissidents. Plus with the APDM, MMA and even PPP-P splintering it seems Musharraf is well on his way to achieving National Reconciliation to include many other parties.
Because people won't elect a naked or langoti-clad man as their president! In fact he would have been subjected to the Hadood ordinance if he had ever ventured out without wearing proper wardi or libaas or clothing.
On a serious note, I think we both understand our positions. So shall we "Agree to disagree?"
Well if we cant get rid of militay (we are so impotent LOL), we better make a constituional change to allow for the army chief to be the president of the country.

I beleive thats what current "democrats" admitted and hence changed the constitution... I said it earlier and will say it again, lets make the same seat as Chief Justice as well.... "All-in-one".
**A great friend of Show General Parvez Musharraf won the election in a land slide victory by 98%... *Laughter*** To put the things in perspective , even oxygen has approval rating of only 94%.***

lol good to see you here F&B! yeah, that referundum was funny, and the funnier thing is, the mqm/mush stooges think it meant something...
I cant believe that many of you are defending 98% vote win as legitimate election. Come on guys...Be rational...
I can understand that many people like his policies.I definitly to. That doesnt mean that we have to act like his stooges to defend an election that was won by 98% vote. :D
I am sorry to say that but this has been the problem of Pakistani democracy. If you like any body , you dont care how he came to power. There is no respect for process. But when you do that sooner or later it will come back to bite in your ass.
Few years back I saw, how many people were defending Musharraf control of power and now I see that many of them just hate him and crying how he raped democracy to come in power this time. Sorry pal, but at that time you thought whatever waywe he came to power was ok. He didnot do anything different this time.
In other words..What you get is what you deserve. :D
Yaar F&B I have never been a die-hard fan of Mush although I do agree with some of his policies and actions. I cannot and will never support a military dictator

Sad part is that many of die hard fans are those who live in west and have benefited from their democratic process.
^Then maybe most know what democracy or democratic process **actually *means and how when transplanted into Pakistani society authoritarian regimes have more resemblance with it than the local grown *jamhooriyat 'for the elite by the feudals for the industrialists' that we take for democracy.
