There is no shortage of opinion in the UAE about the situation in Pakistan.
Generally people are of the opinion that emergency rule is the road to change, for the good!
As read on the BBC!

I'm of pakistani descent and all I can say is the people of pakistan can only be ruled by Musharraf. They are incapable of dealing with democracy. The politicians are corrupt and Musharraf was at least trying to improve on this.
If the people complain about corrupt and immoral politicans, maybe they should look at themselves first, they might realise they are one and the same.

He has dismantled political agents in the tribal areas, allowed religous groups with ties to Al Qaeeda to flourish and has pro-Taliban officials in his own government. Naveed Afridi, Fargo |

| Added: Sunday, 4 November, 2007, 18:29 GMT 18:29 UK It is interesting to note that while the country is in a state of emergency, life about town (until now, thankfully) is normal. Makes you wonder about the content television channels present: seems like no more than parts of reality selected and played up to create an unnatural hype, or rather, to induce one. No tv = rudimentary awareness = peaceful existence (easy equation). Sharmeen, Karachi |
| Added: Sunday, 4 November, 2007, 18:27 GMT 18:27 UK Chicken General Musharraf do not have guts or strength to face the supreme Court in his own country. How cans he face the Jihadis, and the foreign groups like Al Qaida and Taliban. Mohammad Ansari, Idaho Falls |
| Added: Sunday, 4 November, 2007, 18:26 GMT 18:26 UK Surprise, surprise, a tyrant who stole power by force in the first place has declared an emergency - which means there will be no elections. You should see the look of surprise on my face - not! Pakistan has a a horrible dicataroship which has sold nuclear technology to other dicatorships, double standards mean we have to tolerate the state - there won't be any sanctions as we need access to Afghanistan and a foothold in that region. I wish Pakistanis well - I hope they will be free one day. Dev Sanga, Gravesend |
| Added: Sunday, 4 November, 2007, 18:26 GMT 18:26 UK the imposition of emergency in pakistan is not going to help matters, i say so because its not going to control religious millitancy.the other disgraceful thing musharraf has done is putting all private media news channel off the air. how stupid is this decision. what message is he sending to the world.the world has become a global village. controlling information is impossible. people in pakistan are listening to the bbc and other news channel can he stop the flow of information. kamal siddiqui, karachi |
| Added: Sunday, 4 November, 2007, 18:26 GMT 18:26 UK Enforcement of Emergency is just a way of escape from facing conclusion of trials in Courts including rapid declining popularity after growing expensiveness of commodities & public curse on Government. Misappropriation of foreign aids received in the name of development, subsiding of terrorist activities, help of quake affectees etc. This all happened to curtain evil activities of Government men and to prolong illegitimate ruling over the country. |
| Added: Sunday, 4 November, 2007, 18:26 GMT 18:26 UK Like all former army rulers Musharaf is brushing away his good deeds. people he want to save are the biggest losers. He was much better than our politicians but now he is moving towards same list.worst thing is that he is destroying his own created system that brought a little stability. Rashid Hameed, Lahore |
| Added: Sunday, 4 November, 2007, 18:24 GMT 18:24 UK The most important challenge is how can the free world disarm Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. A country whose armed forces and intelligence service are riddled with extremists and religious fanatics is a tocking time bomb. Pakistan's time bomb clock has started ticking. By declaring marital law and suspending the constitution, Musharraf has effectively become the dictator and monarch of the country. He will replace the judiciary with judges who will be his puppets.

| Added: Sunday, 4 November, 2007, 18:23 GMT 18:23 UK The troubled child of Mr & Mrs Musharaf-ud-din, has taken the entire Pakistani nation hostage just for his childish desire to rule Pakistan indefinitely ! ali murtaza, lahore |
| Added: Sunday, 4 November, 2007, 18:23 GMT 18:23 UK It is disgusting and despicable the way Pakistan has been made a Joke by the Army Chiefs through repeated take overs, whether in the form of Martial Law or PCOs. The people of Pakistan are helpless and need help from international community for restoration of democracy and to get rid of military junta. I vehemently condemn the imposition of current PCO & extra constitutional steps Asad Ali Shah, Karachi |
| Added: Sunday, 4 November, 2007, 18:22 GMT 18:22 UK The only threat in Pakistan was the threat to Mushrraf's continued rule and that is why his PCO took away ONLY the FUNDAMENTAL rights of Pakistanis. Nadeem Naseem, Lahore |

Musharraf has been fighting millitants at the behest of USA and Europe. That put Pakistan's military up against their own people. All parts of Pakistan are under suicidal attacks. Tthis factor drastically affected his popoularity. Taking advantage of the situation lawyers; most of them are member of one or another political party-beleagured Musharraf. He is smart & honest. He must defend Pakistan against against all threats including corrupt politicians like Benazir and Nawaz Sharif.
