Pakistan Supreme court gives new life to Musharraf!

With the innumerable problems besetting the Pakistani president Musharraf,today,the Supreme court of Pakistan decided to let the presidential elections take place as scheduled thus giving a new lease of power to the current incumbent.this decision has surprised many as it seems to indicate that the law and order is indeed falling to bits and pieces in Pakistan.many see this as the Supreme court buckling under the pressure of Musharraf.but to be realistic,what other choices did the Supreme court have.

Because if they had nullified Musharraf's election bid,then he would pretty much have gone ahead and declared emergency/martial rule and it would have been the Supreme court that would have nailed the coffin on democracy forever.at least this way,the Supreme court has made sure that at least some semblance of democracy exists in Pakistan today.with today's decision the political deal between ms.Bhutto and Musharraf seems to be more definite and it is this sort of the 'eye washer' deal that is going to save Musharraf's skin in the end!
