Zia I wont defend, Mushy however, despite some errors, oversaw rapid economic growth, boosts in FDI flowed from global confidence in the man and his regime. Now look, post Mushy all indicators have tanked.
Really, is that why it started tumbling down last year? Was there surplus energy generated? All these numbers posted by Shauky Aziz dont matter much when the people were not reaping any benefits. FYI Zia's era had a 6-7% growth rate too! We all know how happy the people were with both of these dictators.

Atleast Mushy had no record of corruption and embezzlement.

So how are you so sure? While alot will come out, the man was an extremely lavish spender. Record foriegn trips with a record accompanying crowd, learjets, illegally buying subsidized farm houses, book selling tours abroad on nation's expenses. When his wife buys curtains worth 1.25Million Pounds for his new mansion, you can telll its not been coming offa the salary a General is entitled to. Just wait till the embezzlement record comes through, there are already alot of discrepencies in the 'foriegn' aid that he mismanaged, along with the money he admitted getting, for selling Pakistanis.
