Sad to see this happen but I think Pakistan is making the right choices now.

I would love Pak Army except:

1. When they come out of their noble jobs to defend the country and a General becomes a dictator and starts to suppress people. And to make matters worse the pak army and ISI, MI instead of opposing this bloody thing protects their general and starts to rule and loot the country.

2. When our generals make afghanistan a 5th province and interferee in their country (not to mention that we already suffered a lot due to our generals fighting against USSR to please USA and then to fight against Taliban to please USA)

3. When they give all bases and supply routes to USA and dare not to resist or reply offensives by US and NATO e.g on 2nd MAy etc

Well lets see what happens now, I have a feeling we could be seeing the end of military rule in Pakistan if Imran Khan gets elected.
