How idiotic can things be that a military officer, who is still in service and continues to remain in service is going to contest elections this year!? General Musharraf has refused to step down as the commander-in-chief of the army and the other ridiculous military titles which he continues to hold. Suddenly he believes in democracy. In that case every military officer should be promoted by the soldiers only vote for them - there should be absolute democracy in the army. But that does not happen because - officers are promoted by some stupid committee. The same which made promoted Musharraf to the rank of general.
General Musharraf is a usurper and a traitor - he has no right to contest any election. An official from the USA has asked the general to resign from the armed forces and contest elections - but will General Musharraf heed this advice? The general knows resigning from the armed forces is no an option because he would have to explain - how he got power and what gives him the right to contest in elections when he himself deposed a democratically elected representative of the people.
People want democracy at every level of the government. They want democratically elected mayors for their cities and towns - not some civil servant who is not responsible to the people of the areas they supposed be ruling and not responsible for anything. The people want that every city and town should have a legislative body - a town council or parliament - no civil servant holding the rank of commissioner or should be in a position to impose any kind of rules without the consent of the people of that area. The judiciary should be elected too. The governors of provinces should be elected and the chief ministers too. The only way there will be changes in different parts of the countries when all kinds authorities and boards are eliminated and elected people should be holding responsible positions, not those appointed by an authoritarian government.
People in the country do not see any benefit in paying taxes. There is no infrastructure to speak of. Health and education are completely neglected because the federal government does not want to spend on encouraging mass literacy and education and building hospitals. All the money goes into spending on the military which has shown that it is not to defend the country but to deny the fundamental rights of the people.
