"I am a big fan of Musharraf. Once upon a time, I had the oppurtunity to have a very short conversation with him (in Kathmandu during SAARC summit) and I have been his admirer ever since. For me, he is one of the capable and charismatic leaders ever born in South Asia." New user ji, Be that as it may, General Musharraf undemocratically strong-armed his way to power through a military coup, yet you claim to be a big fan of his because of his charisma, statesmanship and capability, thereby implying your support of his leadership in Pakistan (your praise is so effusive). If this is what you believe, then you are, in effect, saying that the end justifies the means. And if that is indeed the case, then isn't it odd for you to, at the same time, chastise your detractors for believing and acting upon a similar impulse, a similar line of reasoning? Or am I misreading you? Please do dispel the puzzlement of this passing observer who knows jack-shit about politics.
