The kaleidoscope of politics in Pakistan is of two colors, black and white. Military takeovers are historically followed by an era of democracy. From Ayub Khan to Pervez Musharraf, and from Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to Benazir Bhutto, Pakistan’s political stage has had its cyclical share of dictators and democrats almost every two decades. Public sentiment has undermined any good that might have come of the last military regime by deeming it unconstitutional and illegal.
