Musharaff went to war with India in Kargil heights without the approval of his civilian boss only to be beaten back by the Indians and told to withdraw by the Americans, who under pressure from India and the ground reality of Indian troops at the Indo-pak border ordered the tin-star two-bit general to seal the borders from the terrorist infiltration. Musharaff's support of the Taliban and Al Qaeda vaporized the very moment the towers were hit. Another reversal for the Mush-head. He always made wrong choices and had to be put back on the right path with regards to Kargil, Taliban etc. Mush-head delusively thinks that the Kashmiris clamour to join the pakis, but it is not so. The Kashmiris belong to a different ethnic group and are more close to the Kashmiri Hindus than to the pakis. The muslim religion of the Kashmiris is not as rigid as Pakistan's death-like rigidity. If the pakis couldn't keep the east wing (Bangla Desh) happy in their fold, how could they ever keep the Kashmiris in their fold? Knowing that pakis will only mess them up more and will sell them down the river to the Chinese, they don't want to join the pakis and take orders from the two-bit, tin-star, good-for-nothing generals from Slamabad. On top of that, Mushhead made several antidemocratic moves in his career. He ousted the elected civilian govt. and he heaped upon himself so many titles:The heaped titles looks, sounds and smells like pig manure. He conducts bogus elections and referendums. The man is a beaut and has about six or seven titles: give him time, he will find more titles to append to his name. How could a man who ousted a civilian Govt. be ever trusted to bring democracy to the Kashmiris? He is the laughing stock of the world and is a puppet in the hands of adroit puppeteers like the Chinese and Americans, who know their trade better than this nincompoop. What do you expect from a foot-thumping general whose brain has gone to lunch, while he thinks with his brawns? If it is not for the Americans, this slouch would have gotten Pakistan into lot more trouble from Kargil to Taliban to Kashmir.
