The problem of terrorism in Pakistan is a regional nightmare.
I am not sure how Russia and China will feel if the terror elements gain an upper hand in Pakistan. In any case, Afghanistan, India, and a few others are known for their inaction.
Our home minister, prime minister, defence minister are day-dreaming if they think Pakistan's problems will be solved by this election.
Unfortunately, Musharraf becomes a necessity for Pakistan now. They have to wage a NOW or NEVER battle to crush the terrorist of all hues. I am not sure how far their military will be able to go, as this will mean huge amount of bloodshed in many parts of Pakistan. If Pakistan has to survive as a decent nation, they have to undergo this painful surgery now. Their own leaders were responsible for the growth of this cancer. Now, they have to adminster the urgent surgery also.
