<Referring to the Sharif government as “freely elected but outrageously corrupt”, Gen Zinni says the military found itself between a rock and a hard place. “There was no way to change the situation according to the normal democratic rules.” Zinni writes that “Sharif set in motion his own downfall by trying to fire General Musharraf, while Musharraf was out of the country and to put the chief of intelligence in his place. He had originally given Musharraf the job under the misperception that Musharraf would be easy to control. He had not reckoned on the general’s integrity”.>

Corrupt leadership destroy nascent democracies, especially a democracy as weak and as prone to ‘strong man’ as Pakistan’s is, first of all Islam does not encourage democracy and secondly billionaires leaders of a poor nation help destroy it, the hand in the till approach has let to disenfranchisement of masses rights.

No one has been more blatantly corrupt than Bhutto and Shariffs, this part of Zinni book sums it all.. Zinni is quoted quite a lot as a impartial judge and he does support a view point that I have highlighted on this thread.. Shariffs were corrupt to the core hence led Pakistan democracy to a premature demise and Mush had integrity the two faced together one had to go. Zinni confirms that outlook.
