I am surprised that the thread starter fails to appreciate that Pakistani military dictators are miles better than some of these Arab and Persian dictators. Yes Zia hanged Bhutto but by and large Pakistani rulers be it civilian or military have n't, cannot and would not go to the same lengths of brutality and ordering summary punishments that you find in some middle-eastern and persian societies. You can openly talk against Musharraf in Pakistan (You might get house-arrested! but thats about it), something you won't be able to do in places like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Syria. Even Bhutto seems like an angel when you see some of the crimes committed by Khomeini (his was a blood revolution) and Saddam. In Iran for instance many teenagers get hanged even now for presumed adultery/rape crimes most of which is unproven because I cannot believe for a moment that there are 4 clear witnesses in each alleged adultery case (unless the guilty part are foolish enough to be doing it out in the open/in a )

Yes Musharraf is a dictator and he should honourably resign IMO and give way to a democratically elected PM and President

True and the fact that Musharraf is a 100 times better than our democratically elected leaders.

Musharraf needs to create strong institutions which curb elected official powers, checks corruption and initiate strong reforms.

And after that he can step down. But right now the Job is still not done.
