There is absolutely no Chance there would be Democratic head of state in Pakistan in near future. Unless something Untowards happens to the General himself.
Known devil is Certainly better than Unknown Devil.
As regard Democracy in Pakistan and Public opinion goes, People of Pakistan had rejoiced when Gen had taken over and he had 98% approval ratings as per Independent Surveys. Democracy is not in pakistani Culture. They havent seen much of it.
As far as Indian Policy goes, if we do not have diplomatic relations with Dictator, well we would have had diplomatic relations with pakistan only for couple of years,
