Re: Should Zardari have rushed to go meet the US ambassador?
Well now, what happened to nearly everyone who was praising the elections for reflecting what the people want, and that there was no rigging, and that these people will do better than Musharraf and the Army?
The reason I support democracy is not that democracy guarantees better immediate results or the democratic-candidates will revolutionalize country. Rather to have a setup free of army interference, let the setup evolve, let the democratic institutions strengthen, let the judiciary/media/accountability system settle its root. Once that happens then you will start seeing the results. If we continue to have army-rule then we will be relying on personal goodness/talent of the dictator (in short our "good luck") who takes-over without people having a choice, voice etc. And God forbid if we get someone like Saddam/Hitler/Castro.
