SBS Programme on Democracy and General Musharraf in Pakistan
While recalling last 26 years of history, starting with Russian invasion of Afghanistan, General Musharraf conveniently forgot the covert war with India at Kargil.
I think Musharraf is best bet for Pakistan and India as well. But it is also a fact that he was the chief strategist of the Kargil conflict for Pakistan.
I agree with one of NWFP commentator in the documentary that Musharraf changed colour overnight after 09/11 and all of a sudden all anti west and anti -India activities that had state patronage in pakistan suddenly became big no-no and labelled as terrorist. On this event Musharrafs transformation was not gradual but sudden for his own and pakistan's Political survival.
