Re: Many Pakistanis are now psychologically defeated by Arab militants' terror
..... When a "elected leader" takes on anyone, he takes all the elected ones and nation with him so there is understanding, there is common base, with military dictatorship in command there is no such thing as "common"... the only thing there is "me, me, me". ....
Nations come together when they truly perceive a common threat. That job is not reserved for Musharraf, or BB, or NS, Imran, or AH.
Kashmir earthquake was perceived as common catastrophe, and the nation came together. It didn't matter if a general was incharge or a politiko.
The same thing is true now. No political leader is targeting Ben Laden because they are going after the wrong target.
It is the understanding of the issue that matters, not who is sitting in the presidency.
Musharraf was attacked twice (at least) and he didn't start the blame game. The same should be true for all the leaders.
Leader must be statesmen / stateswomen. They don't have to be in PM house to really do something about terror menace.
