I think the pakistanis need to be ruled by a general. How many elected politicians have tasted success in Pakistan in the last 50 years? None!! There you go...For them , the pen is not mightier than the whip. They need to move forward mentally and that can come only from somebody who knows when to pull the reins and when to let it loose. This balancing act , was possible by Mr. Musharraf, but unfortunately , even he couldnt resist the greed and the lust of power.
