When you are Chief of Army staff, you don’t need political capital to impose martial law. You only need force of arms and Musharraf has plenty of that. The reality is that if he wished he could have implemented rule by personal decree, rather than subjecting himself to the laws of Pakistan.

That is the difference between a dictator like Zia-ul-Haq was and a lawful, democratic leader like Musharraf is.

What choices did he have, none. The wave of protests against him was too much for him to handle, he did try his hand in Karachi on 12 may and also his attacks on TV stations, in both cases he failed. Nothing more he could have done.

Musharraf and democratic??? Yeah right.
