Musharraf is the only guy who can keep the corrupt Nawaz Sharif and Mr 10 % Zardari under control. Democracy in PPP was a big sham - whatever Mohtarma Benazir used to say was the law and no one would dare speak a word against her when she was around. ran the show like a true autocrat - remarkable though for a woman in Pakistan - but a not a good model of democracy. Nawaz Sharif is a very dangerous man- his support base is largely businessmen and mullahs- and he would even implement Shariat ( like last time he tried ) in order to be in power.
