Exiled Pakistani ex-president returns home

After more than four years of self-imposed exile, Pakistan's former President Pervez Musharraf landed in Karachi on Sunday despite threats of arrest and assassination.

Musharraf resigned as president of the south Asian nation five years ago, but he hopes to lead his party in May elections.

He has been living in London and Dubai, and risks possible arrest and the Pakistani Taliban have vowed to assassinate him if he returns to the nation.

    Pakistan is proud to be different from the rest of the world. Let the civilized countries have their version democracy. Pakistan will be so proud elect a dictator in the name of democracy. Instead of integrating minorities in democracy, Pakistan will integrate dictatorship into democracy. It is called demodictatorship.

    Mushraff is dictator who took over Pakistan in a military coup. There is no country in the world which would allow a dictator to participate in an election. Is that really what democracy means in Pakistan? Is that what freedom means in Pakistan?
