I really am on the fence about Musharraf. On one hand I would like to think he is doing what he needs to do to keep the country stable and keep a stockpile of nukes out of extremists hands. On the other hand anytime the military assumes control over the civilian sector through a coup, it balances that country on the edge of a very sharp razor.
