Umm, NO. He was not appointed Chief executive by the people of Pakistan. Wrong approach.a strange thing as the guy musharraf upholded the constitution more so and strengthened democracy by freeing the media, by introducing the local government its strange but true dear
technically musharraf was appointed by the civilian government so musharraf decisions do represent 140 million pakistanis and time proved it as well
musharraf took action when shareef abandoned the constitution and ordered to kill musharraf by not allowing his pane to land in Pakistan, this was the blunder made by nawaz shareef and not Musharraf so i don't hold against musharraf for his actions at all
it was the need of time and the economy was sinking too just like today
so in short musharraf's decision got more approval of the pakistanis then say sharif's deciions now a day
His stopping Nawaz Sharif's dream of becoming Ameer-ul-Momineen may have been ethically correct until he kept the powers. Had he left right after deposing Sharif and announcing elections. One could say he was a moral icon.. but his stay, plunging us into the WoT without consulting, and the farce referendum of 2002 have him no better than NS.
The only way he will redeem himself is to stay and fight his trials to walk free. Will NS and the CJ allow that? Will it lead to a clash with the Army again? Only time will tell.
