Re: Who would have thought...? II
I seriously cant understand what ppl aim at when they accept the fact that the only other workable/likely option will be the army's perpetuated role and another general and his baton and yet want Musharraf gone. When will we grow up and put emotions at one side, take politics seriosuly and not like a game of ludo; if bored or losing, throw it away and start snakes and ladders on the other side. When will we stop doing politics based on faces...?
Would that other *army rule be lead by a full colonel rather than a general, or will that general be brought from Mars? Or will he be so diff from Musharraf? But then again, how do ppl hope and want him to be diff? Another Gen after Mush will probably carry Musharraf's flag or his legacy in the least, or either be the Yahya (make merry be happy) version, or a Zia (impose my ideologies) version, or better yet, Aslam Beg (sleep with them let them please me version) or under the extremist phenomenon of late, one with *Khmoenien *tendencies. No Gen will sleep with everyone at the same time. So such hopes are just air. Why and what for are suddenly all quarters that are opposed against each other at all times, but united against Musharraf suddenly realizing another Gen reality? And in that case, since democracy is like *bandar ke haath mein nariyal *for us, and since further Army rule (there is no such thing as a hybrid; *politicians ke dil ko khush rakhne ko Ghalib ye khayal acha hai) is the most probable way to go, why not let Musharraf stay, let things settle and focus on solving the glitches in the system rather than creating issues, fussing over them, trying to solve them and trying to ouster every govt because the issues came up...?
