Gen.Musharraf is quite adept in playing both side of the street. To US he is bulwark against terrorism to the Islamists he is defender of faith. Only this time the clergy of Lal Masjid has asked for more. Once the conflict of interest is resolved Gen.Musharraf will begin to play both sides again. I am sure he will be able to give Pakistanis a taste of 'Real Democracy' where they have all the freedo to chose their President so long they choose Gen.Musharraf. RPGoswami
