It is convenient to blame Musharraf for everything under the sun that ails Pakistan. But what people forget is that when Musharraf resorted to military action, his moves were jinxed by these same politicians, who resorted to using lawyers and thugs for hire to hold rallies in order to 'protest against using force against your own people'.
Well guess what, thats exactly what they are doing now, and that is what has brought around results, albeit limited. They knew that Musharraf's approach of using force, alongwith calculated negotiations was bringing results, but they used lawyers and thugs to force him out, and now have used the same tactics to bring about a change in Swat and other northern areas.
Current govt, whether federal, or provincial, is quick to take credit for any good that comes about, even though it may have been initiated by Musharraf....but they are also quick to lay blame on Musharraf for anything that doesnt work out.
Swat problem solved? PPP did it.
Electricity problem lingers? Musharraf did it.
Sugar Problem? Musharraf!
Who cares if the dollar reserves declined from almost $15 billion to a mere $3 billion within months of the PPP taking charge? Who cares if we are back to being beggars in front of the IMF and WB?
