Dear Pervaiz  Sahib 

There seems be no end to my fears that we are very badly divided people. Dr. Ahmed Quraishi’s letter has further enhanced my fears. With a few exceptions [praise of army, etc] I find his article well researched, truthful, and a wake up call for Pakistanis all over again.  

First of all, let me admit again, that at this point I am a [reluctant] supporter of Pervaiz Musharraf, and that for a good reason. This is not at all because he is an army person, but because he is a Pakistani fighting back against foreign intervention in Pakistan’s affairs. Can we please not see that his efforts at this point are FOR Pakistan? Can we NOT put our differences and uncompromising philosophies and theories behind for a while?  While some old timers are trying to sell off Pakistan, he is trying to salvage it. For that big reason, he deserves all Pakistanis’ support.
