No, what you wrote is still illogical and absurd to me.
True: Musharraf was under pressure ... not to bring democracy as democracy was already there. Pressure was to take these two thugs back, something that Musharraf could have easily declined, but he chose not to for whatever reasons.
Compare the "fairness" perception and views of the elections in 2002 and 2008, I hope that you'll know why 2002-2007 govt was not more "democratic" than current one. 2002 was more of "selection".
As for Musharraf negotiating with the crooks that they would elect him as President when they come to power, that is big lie and BS, as if that was the case then Musharraf would not have got himself elected from previous parliament. Previous parliament elected him legally ... as Presidential election is nothing to do with when Parliament got elected but it is related to when Presidential term expires (4 years and 11 months after previous Presidential election), new election has to happen within a month from whatever parliament present at that time. When Presidential term expired, previous parliament was present and was running their legal term, so it was their right to elect President again.
Musharraf was trying to avoid impeachment by making deals with Nawaz and Benazir. Someone getting re-elected by a parilament whose own term is about to expire is laughable, but then that is a separate issue.
Anyhow, you still did not answer that what deal you are talking about when you say that Musharraf did deal from two convicted fugitives that could have kept in power? Can you please explain logically, not with absurdities? I would appreciate. Thanks :)
I already said, the deal was that Mush'd have remained President for his complete term had they agreed to Mush's terms.
There is no logical reason of pardoning criminals like Asif and Nawaz, all this "reconciliation" is just a smoke screen to let the crooks come in. Who in their right mind would pardon criminal like Benazir, Asif, Nawaz? They have not only committed crimes against "indiviual" but also against Nation, what right did Mush have to pardon them?
You are free to believe what you believe as propaganda, you can continue to believe 2:00am calls were propaganda, Mush never received threat call afer 9/11 to cooperate else....
