	Pervez Musharraf
		Musharraf was born in Daryaganj in Delhi, India, but moved with his parents to Karachi, Pakistan during the partition of India (1947).
		Musharraf's emotional ties to the United States may be conjectured to be significant since at least two close members of his family live there: his brother, a doctor, lives in Chicago, and his son lives in Boston.
		Musharraf said he would prefer some kind of "international guarantees" for implementation of any pact reached with India on the Kashmir issue, which he wants to be settled in a year's time.

	Asia Times: Musharraf: Can this man change Pakistan?
		Following President Pervez Musharraf's January 12 address to the nation, governments and independent commentators focused on his outlawing of several militant Islamic extremist groups and the imposition of restrictions on religious schools (madrassas) that have for years imbued students with a radical brand of Islam and hatred of the West.
		Musharraf did well to remind his countrymen and the rest of the Islamic world of the seminal accomplishments of these Islamic scholars and to challenge them to emulate these men rather than the - in equal parts - inhuman and trivial pursuits of the Mullah Omars and bin Ladens of the Islamic realm.
		Musharraf received his early schooling in the Turkish capital of Ankara (1949-1956) where his father, the late Syed Musharaff-ud-Din, a career diplomat, was posted to the Pakistani embassy.

		Musharraf added that he thinks bin Laden's control of his terrorist network is diminished, because the communication network needed to maintain control would likely be under surveillance and thus not used, and because the al Qaeda command structure "is broken, as far as the Pakistan side is concerned."

		Musharraf has engineered splits within the secular, mainstream democratic parties (Benazir Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party and Nawaz Sharif's wing of the Muslim League), leaving the PML and the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, or MMA, a six-party alliance of Islamist parties, as the most powerful forces in the Parliament.
		Many of Musharraf's cabinet ministers, as well as the president of the Muslim League, are close to the MMA and consider the Islamists their natural allies.

		Musharraf's memoirs are vague on the whereabouts of bin Laden, who was said in a leaked French intelligence memo to have died recently in Pakistan of typhoid.

		Musharraf’s message to Pakistani jihadis, who know their Quran well, was crystal clear — Pakistan’s U-Turn on terrorism was temporary and the jihad would resume after the immediate crisis with America was averted.
		While Musharraf claimed that he let the legal process run its course, what he did not say was that both the terrorist chiefs could have been prosecuted under existing Pakistani anti-terror laws.
		Even more comically, Musharraf’s minions announced that this time around they would not arrest the terrorist volunteers, instead settling for a “cash surety”, which they claimed would keep the jihadis on a leash.

		Musharraf also was critical of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who he said is "turning a blind eye like an ostrich" to the situational realities in his country and pointing the finger at Pakistan.

		After two months of crisis ending in a doping scandal, some experts say that Musharraf, the chief patron of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), should be stripped of his ability to personally appoint the chairman of the board.
		The call is led by Imran Khan, a persistent opponent of Musharraf who complains that the military ruler runs both the nation and the cricket board undemocratically.
		Musharraf - who speaks of his love for cricket in his recent memoirs “In The Line Of Fire” - was quoted as saying that he picked Ashraf because he was a close friend and had a “bold” personality.

		In the Line of Fire, Musharraf's English-language memoir, is an equally contradictory effort to explain himself to a Western world that largely views Pakistan as a fount of Islamist terrorism, a potential nuclear threat and an impoverished, military-ruled desert in the sullen shadow of shining, democratic India.
		Musharraf was as much part of the big plan, including the framing of ISI as his associates in the United States.
		Musharraf labels rot as rot, and if his story is to be believed he never would be a dictator, nor does he support the interference of the military into politics, as he explains at length, for the right reasons too.

		But few seem to recall that Musharraf made another less publicized speech on September 19, 2001 in Urdu, Pakistan's national language, in which he made it clear that he would do everything within his power to make sure that the Taliban emerged unharmed in the "war on terror".
		In a speech to the Australian Press Club in June this year, Musharraf justified Pakistan's support for the Taliban and insinuated that the US was to blame for September 11 because of its refusal to engage the Taliban regime before that event.
		Musharraf and the Pakistani military establishment are unlikely to end their sponsorship of the Taliban, regardless of what the Afghan government or the coalition field commanders in Afghanistan may say or do.
