After 2008 General Musharaf will be in serious trouble in Pakistan.\n\nThe USA aids, and helps keep that dictator in power. With Bush gone, Musharraf will be removed by his people.

I see President Musharaff as a good guy.  I'm an old man and I think I can judge people pretty well.  But I must say that my assesssment took a hard knock - a very hard knock -when he appeared on Chinese TV, during his visit to Beijing, with ORANGE HAIR !!   Mr President, are you sure that you're not going mad ?\nDon't think I'm joking - I saw very clearly when my heroinne Maggie Thatcher went exactly the same way : it was during a visit to Tunbridge Wells, when she rambled on about rhe lovely old ex-army types there who backed her.  Next thing was the poll-tax (certain death!).  I was very much saddened, but could see the writing on the wall.\nDon't lose your grip Pervez !!

I think he will be forced to resign. Rumsfeld seems to be out of the loop these days with the Bush Administration, which is an indication to me that he will be even more out of the loop after the elections.

I'm pretty optimistic....as long as we don't get another Bush in the office....\n\nIf we do get another Bush in the office....God help us all....

Razi, I hope you get some thoughtful, educated answers to your question. I only have a limited knowledge of the MMA b/c of my Comparative Politics class last semester. I think the MMA is at the heart of the existance of Pakistani politics? Wasn't the succession of Pakistan due to the MMA and other muslim groups that supported Jinnah's muslim nation? If I'm right, the survival of the MMA is dependent upon Mushariff's willingness to step down from his self imposed presidency and allow the government true control. Is this the MMA you are referring to?

Yes he is best president for american politics not for his people nor for countries beside him.  NOT GOOD FOR PEOPLES OF PAKISTANS AND NOT GOOD FOR ISLAM AND NOT GOOD FOR MUSLIM COMUNITY , CRUPTION INCREASES IN PAKISTAN MANY MIGRATING OUTSIDE COUNTRY TO SURVIVE BASICLY.  MY HEART CRYING LIKE A CHILD, IF MY ALLAH GIVE THIS OPERCUNITY I SEE ALL THAT BASTARDS.  HAZRAT ABUBAKAR HAZRAT OMAR IS A EXAMPLES OF MUSLIM OMA. WE ALL MUSLIMS WALKS ON CHRISTANITY ROLES AND REGULATIONS AND CRISTIASNS ADOPTS MY PROPHITS ROLES.

It will all depend on change in the shift of US attitude towards the Military President of Pakistan who has been a stooge in their hands. A little change will prompt the democratic forces in Pakistan to come to the street against the autocratic rule by President Pervez.

After dumping his Buddy Musharraf,Bush is after India....the way pakistan lend its hand of assistance for BUSH in the war aginst terrorism,they deserve much more from the US.Now,its India,bush is promising the world and exploiting again all the possibilities india could render to the US.....The way Bush's snifer dogs sniffed the Mahatma Gandhi's memorial,no-one on earth would dare to do the same if anyone wanted to visit any memorial in the US the way Bush did,how incensitive to other peoples sentiment.If the Indian security force hadnt posses the capability to secure the US president,the why the US authority has promised to sell more F-16's and F-18's and going ahead with the neuclear deal?Arent those weapons meant for So-Called responsible and able Forces?? can anyone name any other single country thats HYPOCRYTIC to that core like the US??

I highly doubt it. Unless he gave some training to his brother-in-law, Gopinath Munde. Or maybe his son grew up learning these things and may join politics some day. I really hope there can be someone who has at least half the skills that Pramod Mahajan had - we really need someone like that for the country's future.

I really didn't want another Bush in office because of Sr George Bush was about when he was in office. Unfortunately his son is in office and then 9/11 happened. Now we have our troops over seas fighting against an enemy that they have no real experience in fighting (guriella war-fare). Troops are dying everyday and we really haven't found any weapons   of mass destruction or Osoma Bin-Laden as of yet. The real reason why we are over in Iraq is to get our bid in on their black gold. Is Bush the right person for presidency? NO. But he has to finish what he started.

Mujib. He was assassinated in 1975. That was the first Prime Minister after the war when East Pakistan became Bangladesh. Currently their is no listed Prime Minister. The President is currently in a role as a "Caretaker" whatever that means. It guess the position is in transition.

bush won't talk to him because he knows that Ahmadinejad is much, much smarter than him.  I think a Battle Royal would be the way to go.  I would liek to see bush physically get his ass kicked, rather than mentally like we have seen for 6 years.

Most likely not, while the democrats will not support the funding of Pakistan directly, the President has vast powers that will enable him to fund any promises he made to Pakistan. However, he is in for only two more years, and as the election shows, his party is not in favor now, so it will not be surprising to see a Democrat be elected President in two years. Right now it looks Hillery Clinton will be elected and if so you can bet Bill Clinton will be in there effecting her decisions.

Osama was a bit of a spent force already then. He's always been the paymaster of the organisation rather than its Supreme Commander, so I'm not sure that much would have been achieved (except for a propaganda blow to al-Queda) by simply napping him. I agree with the administration's decision that the whole network in Afghanistan had to be crushed, not just a few figureheads. That said, though, I blame Bush & Co. for letting Osama get away with how many top men and active fighters when they had them holed up in Tora Bora. All because they feared massive American losses if they had to fight up hill. So they allied themselves with cash-hungry local warlords. Lesson one: if people can be bought once, they can be bought twice...

One of the best things Pervez Musharraf has done for Pakistan is to  allow the press to discuss important issues freely without any fear.  One such issue is the treatment of rape victims.  The papers and women from all over the country have been campaigning vigorously for a long time now and it has just proved successful.  I don't think that Pakistan will become a secular country, like France, but there are plenty of people there who have enough common sense to know when a law isn't working.  Defiantly a step in the right direction,  good on Pakistan I say!

I think he will be remembered overall as the least popular President in the history of the United States, His legacy will also be one of causing Islamic extremism and hatred of the US to drastically increase, while at the same time destabilizing the middle east. He will also be remembered for helping to turn a budget surplus into a record deficit, encouraging industry to send jobs oversees, etc. History will not remember this man kindly.
