…In Powerabusers Annonymous, this is probably the first step towards rehab…

Wah wah Fisal bro!

Good one!

@Faisal

…If Musharaf starts thinking objectively, the list of his mistakes will likely be very very lengthy.

Well. I realize the guy made mistakes. But saying “very very lengthy” is a bit of stretch (no pun intended).

@Faisal

…Not unsurprising since he was in power for so long too. Biggest though will be to align himself with proven corrupt and chor politicians. However, the one which tragically demolished his remaining credibility is the familiar mistake of not realizing when he had run out of time, and refusing to leave with any kind of honor and dignity. Pretty much chased out of office by a bunch of vultures.

I disagree with this list (respectfully).

Running a country of almost 200 million people with only $30 billion a year is a very very messy and ugly job. Can you imagine how USA will be like if the budget drops to $50 billion a year? FYI $50 billion is the money used for only one city called New York.

Even if money was plentiful, you need politicians just you need garbage haulers to take out human waste. Hope you get the point.

Analyzing presidencies and PMs is really tough. We usually fall into the practice of using personal emotions and heresy and never get objective.

For those of you who are privileged to be in the USA (no hope for the UK settled), go read the biographies of American presidents. You will get a wealth of knowledge about how young countries are setup and brought up .

Abe Lincoln, one of the biggest democracy guy, the main guy to take action against heinous practice of slavery is known for many good things. But do you know that he shut down newspapers for their anti-state activities.

Yes sure the 200+ years old country has newspapers that can write anything (well sort of).

But try to read what USA was doing when it was just 60+ years old. Like in 1849.

When countries are young, they are like human babies, that need frequent “care”. If the politicians are smart enough, they can handle this dirty job.

Otherwise military use or Marshal Law is the only option left and Andrew Jackson used the military power to the fullest. Read his biography and see how he “controlled” the native tribes. We may learn something from him for our quest to control FATA.

The biggest mistake of Musharraf was that he didn’t establish clear guidelines for the news media. And our immature media created HUGE stink in case of Lal Masjid and US action in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And 200 million people surviving on $30 billion a year couldn’t handle the stink.

Anyways, all in all your analysis is pretty darn good.
