<b>Musharraf not seen as reliable ally</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->WASHINGTON: A survey conducted by a leading American magazine has 68 percent of those questioned saying that as a partner Gen Pervez Musharraf is “not always helpful, but is at least as good as the likely alternatives”. The survey conducted by Atlantic Monthly found 23 percent of the respondents saying that since Pakistan is unwilling to crack down on militants, Gen Musharraf is a leader “in need of stepped-up pressure by the Untied States”. <b>Only nine percent considered the Pakistani military leader as an “active and indispensable ally in the fight against terrorist groups”. </b>Asked what type of government is most likely to eventually replace Gen Musharraf, 63 percent answered, “Military dictatorship,” while only 22 percent believe he will be replaced by a democratic government. <b>Around 15 percent said it would be an “Islamic theocracy” that would replace Musharraf.</b> khalid hasan<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Very bad for Mushy. Is it a ploy/hint that, hunt for new dictator is on in USA.
Time had come to replace him.
