Hamid should be admired for his optimism. If Musharraf needs help it comes in the way of American military even. If a general in Pakistan has to be replaced an Admiral or an Air Marshal only can do it. Now there is no chance of that danger. An average Pakistani does not really understand words like "free society", "free press" "civilian supremacy" , and "politics outside Qoran ". Intellectuals from legal profession are outnumbered by "silent docile " students , doctors and "ever grateful to Musharraf mullahs" .
