1) I understand the mentality of your general more than you for sure. BUT, I also personally know the mentality of Mushy, Zia, Baig and Kiyani.....so the point is, you want things to work professionally and respectfully for everyone involed. Gen. Raheel isn't the type of a man who seeks glory.
But these over glorifying items, can pump another general after Raheel's chest and head like Mushy. I just don't want Pakistan to go back to the "Presi-Gen" ditch its been in for like 50 years. That's why the country didn't grow and the military rule is absolutely devastating going forward. The country will lose the only chance of growth its got. No one's freaking out, its a professional and well calculated statement. There are plenty of scenario that have been run on situations like what if the military comes in, and none of the scenarios have any decent results for Pakistan. Also, remember, Gen. Raheel has given his guarantee to the Chinese (around the sit in time), that the military will not take the rule over again as the Chinese were concerned about their investments and what would happen when the shiit hits the fan. So its time we empower civilians and the civilian system as it is doing very good work.
2) No, I don't mind you asking. I am not a Pakistani

. But I've spent a lot of time in Pakistan and India, and have personally met Zia to Mushy and everyone in between, with all your political leaders pretty much (the one's that matter anyway). I have good wishes for Pakistan and I'd like for her to do well and become an economic power as it has the potential, labor and other things available. A system was missing and that's now started to work also.
Pakistanis are a friendly, brave, and a super hospitable nation. This crap from Taliban and all, has turned this nation's face and reputation in the wrong direction and I'd like to see it getting fixed and Pakistan opening up for tourism and for everyone else who wants to go visit, do business and even live there.
3) That's not true. People have realized the difference between the civil and the military rule. They have resisted Mushy to limits (where in Pakistan's history have you seen that) and they want to be ruled by civil people who can make a difference. The remainder will slowly change and adapt a more democratic, modern, peaceful and growth oriented approach.
