Not entirely true... Bhutto and Sharif fall under the fundamentalist type of politicians... At least Sharif has the support and the ability to rally the fundamentalists to bring cross border terrorism to its peak... Always remember that cross border terrorism peaked during his tenure... Bhutto on the other hand has little or no respect in Pakistan's power corridor... She is a very very pale shadow of her father...
But Musharaff at least is "controlled" in his reactions and view towards fundamentalism... He is trying to modernise Pak's outlook and the way the world perceives Pakistan... Pakistan is just a hair's breadth away from being labelled as a "terror sponsorer"... Musharaff being conscious of this, is "trying" to veer Pakistan from fundamentalism towards a "relatively moderate" outlook....
Its better if both Bhutto and Sharif stay out of Pakistan's power lobby... Because both have the capacity to shoot off their guns all on their own without provocation...!!! And then look on bewildered when they are "manhandled" by popular uprisings / coups...!!!

As an individual India born Mush a career soldier has more hatred towards India,as a defeated soldier .He is well aware of consequences otherwise the mentality of Mush could instantly nuke India. Sharif,Bhutto or any elected head of pak govt has to maintain balance between army,fundamentalists,anti-indians,west and oilrich islamic states and pak intellectuals and moderates.This is not an easy going in a feudal,fundamentalist and poor religious society pak have. Mush has no option but to dance to the tune of USA in a changed world after 9/11.THIS IS TO INDIA'S ADVANTAGE.So we can say,agree and believe that Mush is better for us as he is helpless and surrounded by problems.
Sharif is from a country who is known for its treachery... He and other leaders wrote their own fate as their ideologies are based on hate. He deserve all this humiliation so as others...

True !!! Which of the "pseudo democratic" countries have more dictators / coups / popular uprisings than Pakistan..?????!!!!!
After all, Mushraff let Sharif to touch down. Sharif's order, when Mushraff was returning from Sri Lanka prior to the coup, was not to let Mushraff land in Pakistan! Mushraff is a big hearted man.

Chill Super user..!!!
Joseph was using a metaphor..!!!
What he actually means is that Sharif is the same person who jeopardised the life of all the passengers on the plane when he did not allow the plane to land ONLY because Musharaff was on board... !!! At least Mushie allowed Sharif to let his trembling feet stand on firm ground before givin him a dose of Sharif's very own home brewed medicine..!!!

Well said..!!! I dont think Nawaz Sharif deserves any respect... This is the same person who jeopardised the life of all the passengers on the plane that he did not allow to land ONLY because Musharaff was on board... Now that he got a taste of his own medicine... he started whimpering and protesting..!!!! What a joke..!!! At least Prez Musharraf has the common sense to NOT jeopardise other human beings because of one person he does not like..!!!
The current situation of the Pakistan is seed formed seven years ago by the General Musharraf by stabbing India from back in the form of Kargil war inspite of the warm welcome given by the then PM of India Vajpeyee ji. Now, Pakistan has to ripe the juice of that seed. And in near future Pakistan will be no where in the world just like Iraq, it will get collasped completely by America very soon. Peportation of Nawaz Sarif to SA was planned by the America, for your kind information.
Panchkula Afternoon , 3.20pm, 11th Sept.2007 Well, it is in the first Instance the honable Supreme Court of Pakistan and more specifically CJ Iftiqar Chouwdury to give a ruling to Gen. Musharraf and his authoritarian commandos Under Lt. Col. Kazi , for the ugly and barbaric treatment they have given to an unarmed ex-Prime-Minister of Pakistan.Newaz Sharif has been attacked, humiliated and assaulted, it is uncivilized behaviour and any sane person would think Pakis to feel sorry for the sort of authoritarian rulers they willingly permit themselves to be dictated to ....Let silver lining of voice of Justice and reason speak through the verdict of Contempt for violation of the permission granted by the Supreme-Court by its Bench under Justice Chowdhury.It does not require in common Law followed in the sub-continent any public appeal , that suo-Motto the Chief-Justice as custodian of Constitution and guardian of liberties of Pakistani Citizens must without delay make it clear to Power-drunk appartchicks of current ruling clique that they stand condemned in the eyes of entire Mankind this hour... A shame to Qaide . a peerless Barrister and Juris-consul of this Subcontinet of the Last Century... Dharmendra Goel

The question is " Does Supreme court exists in pakistan ??" . I suppose Mushraff is the only court which exist in Pakistan .
