one thing we should remember is that dictators alwayz need cent percent support of west in order to sustain their rule...why west supports them?west would only support a dictator if the dictator serves their purpose and helps in carrying out their interest.thats it.

in my view zia was the worst of all the dictators
musharaf is at no.2

although i dont like ppp ut still worst democracy is better than the best dictatorship...

in musharafs era even the top officials in army did nt knew what is happening in pakistan..air bases were given to USA and may be they still are in their hold.and this was revealed by some top official of airforce or army in capital talk publicaly ..he was such a traitor.to extend his rule he was willing to put our security at grave danger...infact it would not be wrong to say that he sold our country.
one friend of mine whose father was a brigadier told me that ex army ofiicials in their gatherings curse musharaf for bringing disgrace to army.
