What next Mr Musharraf?

Pakistan's president General Pervez Musharraf is committed to fighting terrorism, he's also committed to ensuring that the country has 'free and fair elections' . So, that's why he's declared an Emergency, scrapped the constitution, dismissed the supreme court and arrested over 2000 lawyers and activists. Yep, that's his way of combating terrorism. And of course the emergency has nothing to do with the fact that the Supreme Court was going to declare him ineligible to run for president.
An interesting article in the New York Times serves to illustrate how much desperately the General is trying to stay in power.
In fact, the situation is playing out much like it did for the Musharraf's predecessors. Like General Ayub Khan and General Zia ul Haq, he too is fighting to stay in power and in uniform, and like with the former two generals, the his relationship with the United States is beginning to cool.
Till now, the general has managed to pull himself out of several damaging political scandals, but it will be be interesting to see how he manages to stay in power now. Especially since former Pak PM Benazir Bhutto has begun asking for his resignation .
