There is so much going on in Pakistan right now. Already out of the commonwealth nations, it is trying to get into the club of democratic countries.
Elections are likely to be held in January next year.
Benazir Bhutto, a strong contender for the post of PM is back to save her country in the name of democracy. The corruption charges hounding her for years may have been dropped but not erased form the minds of the people.
Then there is Musharraf, the army dictator in love with his uniform. It takes the whole world to get him to let go of it. Will he let it go? The world will be watching...
The third party, Nawaz Sharif ,whose entry into Pakistan from exile has been somewhat a mockery. On his first attempt he was deported back to Saudi Arabia as soon as he landed.
Second time lucky, he may fight the elections. He has a history of controversies, but who doesnt. Musharraf seized power from him in a military coup in 1999. Is this his time for a comeback?
These are the choices in front of the people come next year. Who out of them can bring democracy?
Is this a clear case of voting for the 'lesser evil'?
Is Pakistan really heading towards better times?
