Democracy in Pakistan is much better for India. In the history of the world there was never a war between two democratic countries. Therefore all those fanatics in Pakistan want Mr.Musharaff to stay. For USA it won't make any difference for they can easily control who ever may be ruling Pak. Now at least we expect a much matured Nawaz Shariff or PPP leader would rule Pak with good neighbourly relations. However it is important to note that in Pak , the nation exists for army and not the otherway round. Pak would really become a democratic country when the army goes to its barracks and do its duty rather than become politicians themselves. Baluchistan wants to become an independent nation and that would be the biggest challenge Pak would face now along with its collapsing economy. But Pak considers (traditionally) that creating as many problems in India is the biggest challenge for them. How to create problems for India would be the only agenda for many Pak rulers so far. Hope some good sense would prevail.

Pakistan is bad, China is bad, Bangladesh is bad, Nepal sometimes becomes bad, Sri Lanka has often become bad, Myanmar has been bad for decades.

My opinion about Pakistan is no better than venuraja's. However yesterday I saw on the TV that the INDIAN journalists were covering the Pak elections LIVE. Isin't it a hint of Democracy in Pak? Some where along the lines does it not indicate that "We The People" of these two nations are slowly coming together? I think peace for both the countries is good for mutual prosperity and peace of mind. Perhaps if such ideas float around the globe, earth will become a much nicer place to live in.

That is a good thing... The real fact of the matter is that the people (Awam)of both mations do not have any thing against each other - they would like to live in peace. But for the powers that be, their very survival needs that there is hatred between the two neighbours... I hope, pray and wait for the day when this truth dawns on the mind set of all people of both nations...
