    There is saying in English: power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. When a dictator gets so obsessed with own importance and power he behave like it is all about him only. That’s why Musharraf became one blunder after another until finally he is seen like a clown all over the world and Pakistan has been made failed state and Banana Republic. We need poltical system to save nation from this type of behaviour. Developing system is key to long term stability and progress. Not uneducated army leader or begging for US AID MONEY. When we have system people, everyone sees that there is way of doing things and not just grabbing a gun like in olden days when there is no civilization.
