Pervez Musharraf knows that at the moment the USA needs him and that is why he did what he did.Let's not forget that Mr.Bhutto was ambushed and barely got alive.I do believe Musharraf was behind this assassination attemp. He will stay there until Mr.Bush leaves office.Once Bush leaves office he will decide to hold elections on 2009 0r 2010. He has the power and also many people in the army need him.

In Pakistan the people were ruled by fear till the Plane crash of 1988 which killed President Zia-ul-Haq. I don't know what you would call the democratic governments from 1988- 1999. But a section of the people the Mohajirs of Karachi lived by fear, MQM complain of selective handling of cases by the police and rangers, targetting the MQM workers.
I don't know what kind of ruler Pervez Musharraf is. I guess he is not loved but he is also not feared. There are some who may still love him but no one fears him, as he is not going to hang or kill anybody. But he is still a dictator and his word is supreme.
But in a country like Pakistan there is no scope of democracy. Either you are ruled by one man or ruled by hundreds of dictators in the form of wadeeras or the Mill owners.
The options are limited to the people of Pakistan.
Benazir, Shareef brothers, the religious mullahs or the Muslim League Q, who supportPervez Musharraf.
