Re: Pakistan plans all-out war on militants
Corruption has existed as long as Pakistan has existed and so Musharraf cannot be blamed for this because it has become part of the Pakistani psyche
As for uncontrolled Terrorism. He came to power in 1999, and 9/11 happened, and thus the entire border area with Afghanistan is radicalized.
Lal Masjid is the point I agree with you. He should have acted immediately and taken them out but also some say that he held off the attack for 6 months to avoid bloodshed and end this problem peacefully
Musharraf is the one who created this 80 channels in Pakistan and established a free media. What he tried to do to shut down GEO was wrong but ultimately he was unable to do so. That is not a sign of a dictator when he cannot even shut down a TV Channel.
As for The Chief Justice. That was a blunder. But in reality, Mush wanted an investigation, he did not remove the Chief Justice. People just galvanized around the Chief Justice because they saw him as the anti-musharraf
