Here is a guy who is truthful and is playing no games.We in Pakistan can live joyfully with the like of him.No double speak and therefore no contradictions. This is exactly what the late Shaheed Benazir Bhutto also agreed with.And now Zardari has clarified the matter further by stating that the war against terror is misconcieved as a war of the west;infact it is our own war because we are the biggest sufferers of it,s effects resulting from the ever increasing bomb blasts in our cities.A message general Musharaff could never sell to the people.Obama is indeed right.A, democratic Pakistan will make “a better ally in the fight against terror and extremism.” As for the removal of Musharraf ,it become an issue only after the sacking of the judiciary. Now that the cat is out of the bag, there is no way the people will accept any government which supports Musharaffs continued stay as President-till the judiciary is restored. Hopefully after that a way out of the current impasse would be possible.

It has been US's foolish perception of Musharaf, who has been foul playing the US with double standards. His so called army orchestrates these chaotic and disturbing situations that make the West realize their need. US should only work with the new government to cater their goal and not the army. It has worked with the same people in the past, so it shouldn't not be difficult at all. The new elected government through dialogues will have a much better success rate when talking to tribal groups in convincing them to drop their support and harboring of extremists in the region. Using force is not always the best option although may be need for isolated situations. If that’s the case, military backing is needed to a poorly equipped and trained Pakistan army. I even favor targeted strikes inside Pakistan as long as the source of information is credible, Pakistan government is in the loop and US is willing to take responsibility for errors if any. For long-term, injecting money at the same time in development projects like schools, roads, clean water etc. will bring in positive results and a change in people's ideology.
