Pakistan is different. Our PMs in the past have been fairly decent guys - Vajpayee , Manmohan , Narsimha Rao - who had brains to run the country well and had the intention as well to do it. ( the odd idiot like Devegowda or Weepy Singh were exceptions ). Pakistan is a fuedal society and the army is the only modern institution out there due to British legacy still persisting there. Musharraf is doing a good job for his country - though I think its time he hands over power to another general with fresh ideas and retire to Boston to stay with his brother. And maybe write a book on his decline in the last 12 months which will be "General in a labyrinth : Part 2 "
