Pakistan was a democracy and hopefully Musharaf will take steps to reinstitute it again..

I'm not so dogmatic that I believe governments don't swing from democracy to authoritarianism (or oligarchy) from time to time... Why are you?

But for the period that Pakistan is "non-democratic" I say they lose their vote in the General Assembly, as well as right to serve on the UNSC.

It gives them something to work for.. readmittance to the membership of democratic nations...

Entre' and participation in the corridors of global political power should not be "cost free".
