Well I dont see myself as a politican at all, just a concerned citizen. The problem with Pakistan has been that we have let the Army in charge for too long. Unlike countries with Army struggles like Turkey and France (where the role of the Army was taken to be granted as a political entity), the army in Pakistan came from behind and took over et al the personal ambitions of Field Marshall Ayub Khan. You are right about the Management and Politics thing.
With Kashmir mainly in question, I reckon we do need quite a lot of management for now,,. yeah the politics of it will come on later and we will have to see how the Army (I dont expect the King's Party to play any role in that too)handles that ! That is the only reason I support the Army at this stage, not because I am an anti democracy thing. I believe in Democracy from the core of my heart, becuase if it wan'nt for one man vote, we would never have had Paksitan.
People stay passive and thereby support the Army because in the guise of politicans we have theives (chor and lotarae) and in the guise of Army we have thugs. And you very well know how people in our society look up to Thugs (since the days of JAGGA), in thugs people know what they have to part with (Jagga tax) you know your life and assets are now save. With theives you know nothing when they'll strike and if ever you'll come out alive of it. Paksitanis are just paying out Jagga tax for that piece of mind.
Just for the sake of argument, I see the only way out is for General Musharaf to enter main stream Politics after 2007 (after which I am sure he will have to resign). This has happened the World over with some level of success, Turkey and France just two examples.
