What a bull $hit post...!!! The same Musharaff gave the "moral" and "material" support to the "mujahideens" in Kashmir. He is the key architect behind Kargil. He publicly told that the militants in Kashmir are freedom fighters and the Pakistan government would continue to provide support to them. Now he is comparing himself with Lincoln. I dont remember Lincoln supporting terrorists in history. One of your point is correct. A muslim nation cannot be driven by democracy. Only a leader with iron hand can drive the nation. And certainly, this military ruler is not that exact leader that Pakistan needs. The fate of Pakistan cannot be changed by a single person. He is just representing the nation's desire - the country formed of hatred. Muslims will not accept the modern world, they will not shed their "Jihad", they cannot leave their religion. There is no end to this crisis. If Pakistan is over, the same fire will start in Iran. If Iran is over, then the fire goes to Indonesia and so on. The mindset of muslims has to be changed globally to end this crisis.
