I don't understand what is going on with the people of pakistan. We are moving to a situation like the US where there is no 'thinking-of-its-own'. Where is all the common sense gone?
Let's get history straight: Pakistan came into being. Army was responsible to defend the borders and the political setup was responsible for running the Govt. The Govt failed repeatedly bringing the country to the brink of disaster. Someone had to intervene to rescue - even if unconstitutionally and temporarilly - it was the army (with all their managerial skills). Who would you have liked to intervene for the last rescue of Pakistan - The Nanny from the US??? This Topy drama went on quite a few times.
What i am saying is that at least for me what matters the most is what kind of satisfaction the people of Pakistan get at the end of the day. The fact is the so-called democratic govts. failed each time they came into power and delivered nothing- NOTHING at all. Why would the Army topple a govt. that is performing well, achieving recognition in all fields and is seen as a thriving new economy world over??? Could the democratic system be healed if any of the military takeovers hadn't happend - we will never know but the chances are slim.
Musharraf although didn't do any good when he came into power but he delivered. Fact check: Back then the sole objection and outcry came from politicians who wanted democracy or their Kursi back. Now, when there is democracy politicians and every person on the street has objections and is crying.
The constitution is a piece of paper that can only be deemed sacred if the implementation of it can be assured. With dishonest govts the implementation can not be delivered. For an ordinary citizen democracy does not play a vital role, the only thing that he cares for is with what satisfaction he goes to sleep at the end of the day. Democracy is a word well heard in countries like sweden and norway where people actually care for one another and are honest. Unfortunately our leaders don't have these traits so we shouldn't be complaining if we give the army room to take over. Army is like a sweeper - someone has to clean up the mess.
