What he is doing is enough to understand him. All the policies made/implemented by this govt are total failure/disasters for Pakistan.
Whoever is supporting him, needs to observe his foreign policies such as relations with Afghanistan (too bad. now its not only India but Afghanistan as well), Interior policies such as Balochistan ( e.g.murder of Bugti is very well known), Economic policies such as soaring Inflation rates, So-Called stock exchange bullish trends, well known stock market issue. These are just few of terrible examples set by him and his govt. Whatever is happening interms of religion and culture, its very obvious too.
While Musharraf may not be a saint, he's most certainly better than both Mian Sahib and Bibi Benazir. The younger generation in Pakistan esp. seem to like his progressive views. I would say he has been one of the 4 better leaders of Pakistan
Jinnah (do we need to say more?) It's just a pity that he died so soon after the creation of Pakistan otherwise I am sure he would have given us a good system of governance.
Ayub Khan- most of the developmental projects like the construction of major dams -Tarbela and Mangla, Pakistan Steel Mill etc. were started in his time
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto (immensely talented..... if only he had used his intelligence for the good of the country. nevertheless one must give him credit for initiating Pakistan's nuclear programme) &
Musharraf
And those of you who try to put Bhutto and Musharraf (ofcourse they have their weaknesses) down just because of their so-called pro-western outlook and ideas, let me remind you that Pakistan will always remain an Islamic country no matter who's in power. Those who wanted to practise Islam, i.e. pray and fast etc. were as free to do so in Bhutto's time as in Zia's time. Zia's Islamisation drive was nothing but merely an attempt to consolidate his grip on power. Instead of playing the religious card all the time, we should focus our efforts on the real issues of health, unemployment, illiteracy among masses, alarmingly high population growth rate etc.
It's not like Musharraf is openly flouting Islamic values.
Bugti was no saint either. His people were (and still are) destroying state property in Balochistan and that surely cannot be tolerated. It's about time feudalism's abolished in Pakistan. These feudal landlords are the biggest obstacle to progress and development esp. in rural Sind and Balochistan. They don't allow new schools to open in their own constituencies while their children go abroad for higher education. Talk about hypocrisy....
A wise man once said... ask not what the country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country?... I think it was Kennedy
I have always felt that Pakistan should follow the example of Malaysia, a progressive democratic Islamic state.
