This old cynic thought that the Pakistani elections wouldn't be fair. I thought Dictator Musharraf would rig the elections but it seems that I was wrong. It can happen.
The opposition parties seem to have won the majority of seats and there is even talk of impeaching Dictator Musharraf. But before the neo-cons wet themselves and heap praise on Dictator Musharaff for this (relatively) orderly transition to democracy let us see how the Pakistani army/secret police react to the results. How will they react to the prospect of their true commander in chief being impeached?
Pakistan isn't a democracy yet. That will only happen when Dictator Musharaff is rotting in prison.
