Let me turn the tables...
Why do YOU think he is smart? I am curious too ...
1.) He reopened exchange of foreign currencies which helped bring back investors in our country.
2.) He stood up to India, UK, U.S.A., Afghanistan and others when be believed they were in in the wrong. (Don't take this the wrong way, I'm supporter of U.S.A.)
3.) The bombings during Musharraf presidency were on a small scale in small areas. Now it has reached larger cities Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore and is on a larger scale with no end in sight.
4.) He improved our military significantly
5.) Our economy was improved (our rupee is now becoming worthless).
6.) Crime rate dropped, since he left it has seen a 30% increase
5.) He had a genuine care for our country he wasn't interest in self-power.
If you think that he was only interested in self power because of his attempt to stay longer in office he wasn't. Musharraf wasn't corrupt. He knew he was in the prime position to improve our country. He knew corruption would once again come be at the highest level of our government. Now look who is our leader Asif Ali Zardari. He spent 8 years in jail for stealing 1 billion dollars from our government with Benazir Bhutto. Terror attacks are on a rise in our country. Crime is on a rise in our country. Rampant corruption is on the horizon. We are going down the toilet.
The list goes on....
Now its
your turn.
