These days one does not need to go to a movie to get entertained, all he or she has to do is to see the daily soap on Pakistan, with things seesawing drastically from one end to the other, no one quite knows which end is up anymore. The differences between Bhutto and Musharraf is fast escalating into a war of words, but all said and done they both realise that they may still need each other, one to come into power and the other to retain absolute authority.
With Benazir becoming increasingly belligerent towards Musharraf, being the astute political leader that she is, is looking to push Musharraf towards the oblivion. Whether this would happen is any body's guess. But the Americans are getting increasingly anxious about Musharraf and the Nuclear weapons that Pakistan has, but of course they would rather eat a real crow than admit that much in public. As for the options that are facing the Americans and the rest of the world regarding Musharraf, there are not that many. It seems that Benazir Bhutto is fast becoming the most viable option for the Americans and the rest of the world. And to add to all this, the last vestiges of democracy were stripped away from Pakistan just an hour ago as the Parliament was dissolved! Goodbye democracy, hello general Zia, sorry I meant general Musharraf, but it really does not matter what you call them but they are all the same - Zia and Musharraf!
