you call an election a 'Election' if there is a contest. If a person takes over the country and announces himself as the president and wins a election with no contest, its called dictatorship. Musharaff is by no means a people leader. He has made enough mockery of democracy. Its unfortunate that the so called super powers turned a blind eye towards his regime.
Well, it is pretty clear that Musharraf is headed the zia way! He will never relinquish power of the Uniform, nor the power of the presidency... I am sure if he sees the boat rocking too much domestically this year, he will plan another Kargil, to get the focus away from him! Its a year that we Indians need to beware...
