On the streets here in Islamabad, and in the capital's shops, people are beginning to speak of the future in hopeful tones. Tariq Ahemd, who sells chickens in Islamabad, welcomes the military takeover. He says he believes General Musharraf will address the problems of society, unlike previous governments. Aziz Khan, a businessman in the capital, says the military should be able to perform better than the elected governments. The nation has experienced that democracy has been failed in this country.
All politicians are corrupt.
That is our money. Mr. Ali says no government has ever followed through on promises to bring electricity to his village. In his view, Mr. Sharif is typical of all politicians, who make promises but never deliver on them. Because whoever ever has come as yet, even the martial law came before as well. Nobody made any difference.
