Mystique fadingRe: "Has Pakistan's military finally lost its mystique?" Mihir Sharma is correct in his analysis of the Pakistan elections held on Feb 8. Any country where the military and judiciary can oust elected politicians and exile them without due process is bound to deteriorate. Historically, in this region, family dynasties and the elite have exploited their cordial relations with the military for personal gains. The Election Commission, judiciary, military, crony elites, and corrupt politicians have contributed to the current crisis in Pakistan.
