It is difficult to associate the terms democracy and dictatorship with one another. Despite the obvious contradiction, the two have gelled in a few countries that have made the proponents of democracy particularly uncomfortable. Recent waves of democracy in many troubled countries gave optimists the brief feeling of relief as accountable governments would be the standard ruling form. However, dictatorships have emerged in some countries under the guise of democratic rule. Today's feature film, Dinner With The President, investigates this curious phenomenon as the Pakistani leadership gets deconstructed by director, Subihar Sumar.

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.

regarding the programme on sbs about why democracy

hi i watched ur programme on sbs.it was quite inspiring but one thing i didnot like about it.was the when host of the programme said while talking to trible chiefs that she read the quran in arabic and in english but she hasn't read about hijab in quran ,i want to tell her if she read SURAH ALAHZAB AYAH 59 then she will get her answer.what i believe is that, there is a democracy in pakistan any way as a muslim country. because islam is the only religion who believe on equal rights of women and mens,except it is the matter of understanding which way u read the quran and follow the quran.but if we call our self muslims then we should believe that the words of quran are the true words of allah.by writing like that i dont mean at all that we should bring mullah's in power but we should not deniegh what our allah says in quran.i hope i passed my message regrading democracy.islam believe in modesty as long as it is in the limit .
