Pervez Musharraf should resign

In Pakistan today tens of thousands and lawyers, activists and politicians are marching towards Islamabad demanding the resignation of President Musharraff. It is a long time coming after the Pakistan People's Party and the Muslim League of Narwaz all Sharif one the parliamentary elections nearly four years ago today. What makes the uprising in Pakistan unique is that it is being led by the educated elite. Normally rebellions and revolutions are led by the poor and the working class. Such was the case in Indonesia in 2003-2004 with the ousting of Suharto. The time has long since come that corrupt and autocratic president of Pakistan should be forced to resign and tried for treason.
Seraph
