Musharraf came to power by toppling a elected, but utterly corrupt, government. He doesn't need people's support to continue his military rule. But now he is not finding any way to go out. If he becomes a civilian president, the next military chief may dethrone him, even kill him. On the other hand he can't remain army chief till his death. He is in a death-trap - only way out for him is through death or by fleeing to the US and living there till death in a heavily guarded house. I feel very sad for him.
