MMA to quit Balochistan, NWFP govts if Opp unites
2007-07-01
The Muttahida Majils-e-Amal will quit the NWFP government and the Balochistan coalition if opposition parties unite against the “dictatorship,” MMA leader Liaqat Baloch told reporters here after his party held a meeting with a European Union delegation on Saturday.

“We have no alliance with President General Pervez Musharraf. We should not be forced to quit the NWFP government alone. All political parties have to play their due role,” he added. MMA Secretary General Maulana said, “We have told the EU delegation that on the one hand they champion the cause of democracy and on the other they support military dictatorship.” He said rumors were rife that the assemblies were going to be dissolved. He said transparent elections could be held only if President General Pervez Musharraf doffs his uniform, adding that the government was creating confusion on the issue of elections.

#1  There is no confusion about elections. The confusion is corruption in the islamic world. Much progress needs to be made in the area of Societial infrastructure. In other words, you need to know how to run a state and have many non corrupt officials in order to resemble a democracy.

Pervez is not going to be there forever so you need to be seeking leaders and hopefuls. This is a long process and should take years. But for now, there is enough turmolt and Pervez is the best for you at this time.

Here is the proposed long term solution: http://www.crisisgroup.org/home/index.cfm?id=4568

You need leaders that will concentrate on building this plan. Good people who will ignore all of the propaganda about Israel so they can concentrate on Pakistan which is a very poor country. Don't become another Gaza.
