And yet Pakistan Military has wizened up to changing times as well.The current Pak govt is the most powerful civilian govt since 1977--the last was the one of ZAB.
As I had said several times in this forum before: One unintended but unmistakable consequence of 9/11 and the resulting violence in Pakistan was the weakening of the 'Security State' in Pakistan. I don't think the Army is interested in power--not when the sitting President/COAS like Musharraf himself was reduced to a 'Bunker President' by 2007.
This govt has the mandate and the credentials to take off where Musharraf-Manmohan left off...
Instead of taking the direct route, they took the indirect route or 'soft coup' using Imran Khan and dharna's and other forms of protest to show the civilian Govt of Pakistan its limits.
Pakistan has a long way to go before the Govt of Pakistan becomes the true and only authority. We wish that day comes soon and Pakistan's progression towards systemic democracy become irreversible.
