Will Nawaz succeed in ousting Musharraf?
At the moment, Nawaz Sharif is the only one who is demanding restoration of the judiciary (and rightly so, in my opinion). He is also opposed to joining a coalition government at the centre, because that would mean taking oath from Mr. Musharraf, who refuses to see the writing on the wall and is desperately trying to hold on to power, like a drowning man clutching a straw.
The funny thing is, despite all that talk about trying to introduce democracy in the Muslim world, the Western powers don’t like it when the elections turn up someone whom they don’t like, or the people vote against their preferred candidate. It should be obvious to every moron in the U.S. (including Bush) that the people of Pakistan have voted against Mr. Musharraf. Yet they continue to support this unpopular man, who has wreaked havoc upon the country during the past twelve months. Not only did he sack the superior judges, he even hurled abuse upon the honest and upright chief justice at every forum, even during his tour of the western countries recently. Apparently the man doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut. By giving vent to his feelings, he only damaged his own reputation both within and outside the country.
I sincerely wish he would quit and let the future parliament work without interference from the presidency. But as long as Zardari refuses to listen to Nawaz, the crisis will prolong and the country will suffer.

A democratic, economically stable and progressive Pakistan is important for regional peace and stability. Pakistan is fighting terrorism and the troubles in the forms of extremism can be resolved effectively and pragmatically by the parliament consisting of representatives of the people. The people of Pakistan have demonstrated that they themselves are best judge of the performance of their elected representatives and this is the true essence of democratic process which has made a sound beginning but requires a concerted effort to meet the demands of good governance.
Musharraf, deserves credit for conducting a free and fair elections. He reiterated his stance of working with the new government after February 18, 2008 elections. It is expected that parties will follow a reconciliatory course and the confrontational policies of the 1990’s should be left behind. The reconciliatory politics and the harmonious interaction within the government and between various parties will move the country towards more stable democracy.

You can’t expect Musharraf to act fairly in the present situation. He is the problem, and once he’s out we’ll know much more than we do now about how he manipulated everything to keep himself in power.
