Re: We need a bold Musharraf
A bolder Musharraf is definitely needed much more than perceived.
The man has all control, and he refuses to exercise it...a rare example indeed.
History will have rich tributes for the man Musharraf, but if he fails to seize the day and lets his powers rust unused for the good of the nation when needed most esp against the threat of the same old crooks breaking loose and wreaking havoc on our Pakistan all over again, then I'm afraid Pakistan's history wont be merciful to him over this ignorance and dire mistake of his.
Ayub the ever powerful with his FM's baton made a mistake when he *felt *weak in the knees and the nation paid, though the very masses that had lead to his stepping-down realized within a few years how they had blundered, alas the "dog" was old an the milk spilled.
Ironically power lies most unused when it's most required...
