I don't understand where 'respecting the decision of Supreme Court' has gone. Hasn't the supreme court annulled the PCO; then why are the agencies still implementing it? Do the agencies work for Musharraf or for Pakistan?

Why are only a few hundred people on the streets and why not millions.

Why is not the entire nation marching towards Musharraf's hideout in order to pull him out of there and holding him accountable? How many can they kill? certainly not the entire nation

In the end Musharraf can only pass an order and it is up to the agencies to either carry it out or not. These agencies, I am hoping are comprised of patriotic Pakistani's who will make the sacrifices that have now become incumbent upon them and resist this dictator.

If they are unwilling to do this, the masses need to form militias to oust the army by force
