Things have gotten very interesting since the election on Feb. 18th. The good news is that some sane parties won, namely the PPP, PML-N, and ANP. The bad news is that these said parties are trying their best to forget about the judiciary and the lawyers' movement that put them in power in the first place. Of course they're political parties, and they will grasp for power above all else. But what is especially frustrating is that in this case, doing the right thing also means extending their hold on power - and saying a big fat 'fuck you' to Musharraf at the same time.
In March 2007, I had predicted that Musharraf would be gone within a year. Well, we're coming up on March 9, the anniversary of the Chief Justice's sacking, and it might not happen that soon, but Musharraf doesn't have much longer to stay in the Army House that he's been squatting in and thereby refusing to let Kayani occupy it. Word is that he's already trying to make deals for a 'safe exit.' What should happen is that the bastard gets tried for treason and humanitarian crimes. Let's see. The next couple of weeks will be very interesting.
