Enter Gilani

Nothing could please the country's friends more

Pakistan is rejoicing about something that can worry only the mullahs or Uncle Sam’s trusted nominee: the President-by-proxy Pervez Musharraf. The general-in-civvies who would be the country’s permanent CEO. Yes, the country where the military has traditionally been regarded as “the largest and most powerful party” finally has a leader whose immediate goal is to push the soldiers back to the barracks – and to make sure they stay there!

Happily, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has also pledged to restore the judges whom Musharraf ousted, because they would not consent to recognise his illegal presidency. Asif Ali Zardari, the slain Benazir Bhutto’s widower, himself had been far less clear on the ticklish subject of what should be done with Musharraf. Indeed it would have come as no surprise had even Benazir, having benefited from the power-sharing deal with the canny Musharraf, been eventually compelled into ‘General Retreat’!
