Actually, General Musharraf has set in motion a direction for Pakistan that offers the best hope for ultimate sovereignty and the necessary strength of infrastructure for freedom to flourish. The Wahhabi radicals are the problem. By routing out the radicals (and their leaders), he is silencing his critics because the mere conviction and ultimate decision to proceed in this direction has left them vulnerable to being included in the route. It is a polarizing policy meant to force a final decision by all of Pakistan's citizens of whether they wish a strong unified and free Pakistan or the quagmire of an externally controlled fragmentation of Pakistan's politics. Hard to believe that the coup by the General would end up being the best thing that ever happened to Pakistan. I believe the coup was in reality his effort to push the country into the 21st century as a modern nation (his dream). Too much Wahhabi influence was filtering into the military from the ground level grunts up to the mid level officers. The coup appears to be more of one against the House of Saud than of the Constitution of the country. History may consider General Musharraf more akin to our General Washington. We shall see. Funny how events tend to prove out these thoughts I own.
