No doubt Musharraf intends to get around to that some day, but he's not going to let it happen any time before next October, if then. Even if it takes place, the danger will remain of another military takeover. Pakland needs a concerted propaganda effort within the military against involvement with civilian affairs, and it will take at least until a new generation of officers has arisen before the danger is past. Meanwhile, it has to fight against the sectarian fifth column that's even more dangerous and which is allied with elements within the military. Musharraf probably envies the proverbial snowball's chance. |
