I admit that Musharraf is a dictator who tries to ride two horses - those of the West and those of the conservative/radical islamism - at the same time and I hope that he doesn´t succeed, even if things could go quite ugly after he is out of the picture. But when it comes to Pakistani democracy, much of the blame goes to the corrupt major parties of Sharif and Bhutto, who did little to give democracy and non-religious parties a good name in Pakistan.
