Re: President Musharraf adminsters Oath to Prime Minister Gillani
Mashallah soon the greatest leader after Quaid-e-Azam will be thrown out of Army cheif’s residence as he is hiding there out of the fear and does not want to go to the president’s house. Alhamdulilallah he is so intelligent, he already had figured out that he won’t be staying in president’s house anyway.
Long Live Musharraf till after he becomes fugitive to USA

What do you suggest to avoid that? Put a dictator to rule or support strengthening of institutions who can control / counter each other to avoid such situations?

I remember that October day in 1999 when Musharraf took over...then he was called the saviour from that NS govt's loot khasoot... People danced and distributed sweets to each other to cherish the occcasion. now the dictator.. However he did start many mega projects for the betterment....I guess not belonging to a political or an ethnic family of Pakistan , he would always lack a populist sentiment..... But then Pakistani nation always prefer political dynasties/hegimonies with the likes of Bhutto's, Sharif's etc etc.

Benazir Bhutto.
Imran Khan.
Qazi Hussain.
Fazlur Rehman.
and others.
All opposition leaders who supported General Musharraf's military coup in 1999, that overthrew Nawaz's govt, as did 95% of the Pakistan people. Not much talk of upholding the constitution then. Get rid of 58-2B and you will see scores of political leaders in a year or two's time queuing outside GHQ to save them from a dictatorial PM.
