Or better yet. Our generals must learn to play civilian politics "AFTER" they retire from the military. Some did try like Asghar Khan. But they ought to use their charism (if any) to rally the masses behind them.
Using military power to govern the country may be a last ditch effort. But we should ask the army guys to join (or start) a political party and then try to lead the nation. Short cuts are only good in short term. Long term vision needs consistent hard work and a vision. May be we do not have a vision thing figured out for Pakistan.
Please stop using retired Generals as scapegoats to blame the mess serving Generals cause. Gul as a retired high ranking officer has every right to his opinion and doesnt have any political strength, just his voice.
People dont just change overnight after the day they retire. Zia and Musharraf made an unprecedented mess when they were serving Generals.
A PMA Kakul diploma doesn't make someone an economist nor does it make them a master of beggary.
