Re: Musharraf on NPR .. his plans to return Pakistan
so are you telling me there was no civilian leader before bhutto? or does your pakistani political history start post bhutto? 
How can I respond to a response that
A- quotes my post but does not answer my question which was..“I am still interested in benchmarks of how long it has taken democracy to really take hold in other places”
B- is still factually incorrect, would you let me know who the following gentlemen were?

Yes your point stands that for majority of the time Pakistan has been under military dictatorships, I agree with the basic argument you have. I still want to compare it to other countries which may or may not have faced similar issues, just to see how long it has taken other countries.
Lastly, I dont think the political leaders atleast in the last few decades were effective, sincere, competent or honest either, so for the country it has been an out of the frying pan, into the fire, back into the fire pan and back into the fire scenario for a while now
