    Like I was saying, I don't think that was the alternative.
    and as I hope I made clear, but may not have, I was not comparing the current situation to a what if, whose certainy we can argue endlessly, but to the situation the day before.

        Sharif won't be allowed to return to Pak: Musharraf

        Refusing to abide by the recent Supreme Court judgement, President Pervez Musharraf has said that exiled former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would not be allowed to return to Pakistan to take part in the general elections slated for later this year.

        "The government will neither allow the Sharif brothers to come back nor would they be given a free hand if they chose to return. If Nawaz Sharif is not honouring his 'exile' deal, the government will put him behind bars or send him back to Saudi Arabia," The News quoted Musharraf as saying in Islamabad.

        Considering petitions filed by the deposed Premier and his brother Shahbaz Sharif, the apex court had ruled on Thursday that they were free to return to the Islamic nation after seven years in "forced" exile.

        Musharraf on Saturday held an emergency meeting of the ruling party MPs at the Presidency in Islamabad amid reports that Sharif might return home possibly by next month to lead Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's campaign in the general polls in Pakistan.

        The President told the elected representatives that the government would raise the issue of Sharif brothers' return in violation of the agreement with Saudi Arabia. "The Sharifs are bound to abide by the 'exile' agreement and the Saudi government will be approached in this connection." Sharif, who was ousted in a military coup in 1999, has denied entering into any deal with the government, which required his family members to stay out of the country for at least ten years. But, the government insists that he had signed the 'exile' pact in exchange for a presidential pardon.

        However, Musharraf told the ruling party heavyweights that self-exiled former Premier Benazir would only be allowed to return to the country after general elections. "There's no possibility of her return before the polls."

          I heard her interviewed on our national radio a couple weeks ago and was troubled by her evasiveness in answering questions. It appeared she and Musharraf had come to an arrangement of sorts but she would not reveal what that arrangement was...

          No we see (from the latest article posted) she comes back but her rivals don't...

          I predict a long military reign in Pakistan interrupted by periodic gestures at democracy.

              I'd love to see an end to military rule in Pakistan, I just don't think the right actors are on the stage yet.

                The article is dated the 26th. I don't see anything about this on teh Beeb... In fact, Sharif has just announced that he's going back on 9/10.

                  9/10, hmmm. Maybe he wants to stop by Kabul for the Ahmed Massood annual memorial? Nah, I guess not.
