President Musharraf and Pakistan

Re: President Musharraf and Pakistan

@shawaiz_K

Neither De Gaulle nor Washington were commanding their army when they became president. De Gaulle actually never commanded the French army, he was a brigadier general when Germans defeated the French army. Musharraf has once compared himself with de Gaulle and said that, “How did General de Gaulle continue in uniform all through his period as president of France, and France is a democratic country”. Ayaz Amir has written an article to clear this confused commando why he is not a pakistani de Gaulle and why de Gaulle often appeared in his military uniform. George Washington had already resigned as US army’s commander in chief when he was elected as president.

And neither of them came to power through a coup de etat.

^ good job shawaiz_k :k: lets see what defenders of ‘dictator’ say now

Brothers, I never compared President Musharraf with President General de Gaulle, President General Washington or for that matter President General Eisenhower. I just mentioned as an example that history has many Presidents in uniform, even from countries with known democracy.

The person I compared President Musharraf was with General Cromwell, because he came to power in UK using military under his command. Cromwell kicked royalist (similar to corrupts like BB and NS of Cromwell’s time) hard using military force under his command. Cromwell also kicked church power (similar to retarded Pakistani mullahs of Cromwell’s time) hard using military force under him.

Later, though Cromwell declined to become king, became ‘Lord Protector’ for life, to protect British democracy from British royalists (Pakistani corrupts) and British church (Pakistani retards). He kept manipulating and effectively controlled both ‘House of Commons’ (similar to Pakistani parliament) and ‘House of Lords’ (similar to Pakistani Senate) throughout his life (as most likely President Musharraf might do).

General Cromwell is considered as the champion of British democracy, as even though British democracy was much older than his time, he effectively made British democracy effective and gave real tooth to it. You can say that General Cromwell was father of present day British democracy. Hopefully, President Musharraf may also leave Pakistan with similar effective democracy.
