Finally, the day has come. Musharraf has taken off his uniform. This long-standing, slightly-obscene-sounding demand of both the opposition in Pakistan as well as Western allies, is finally being met. And now that we are in the moment, it's actually become very clear to me just how apt the "take off the uniform" metaphor is - because it's a completely superficial step. Musharraf may have "taken off his uniform, but he's still as firmly in charge as ever. Perhaps even more so, since the devastation that his latest martial law has caused has really put the nail in the coffin that is Pakistan.
