Musharraf is living in Britain these days as most Pakistani leaders do once out of power, following suit to the 2 ex prime ministers Nawaz and Benazir as well as Altaf Hussain, leader of the third biggest party in Pakistan, Mutahida Qaumi Movement.This probably goes to prove that the 62 year old nation has not been able to shed the skin of their colonial past completely and their colonial masters as still their masters in freedom.
Maybe Musharraf is banking his hopes on the fact that the two previously ousted prime ministers were able to make a successful come back to some level of power with the help of their colonial masters of course. Though Benazir Bhutto perished in her quest for third term in the office by hands of the rampant terrorist, her other half was able to masterfully encash her death in terms of votes and rise to power.
Nawaz Shareef was also able to negotiate his come back to pakistani politics despite all attempts by Musharraf to keep him out of the country and out of office in turn, but the dictator tactics failed miserably in the face of popular public opinion.
Nawaz who was expelled from the country masterfully by Musharraf, now enjoys power in the most populous province in the country while Musharraf has fell into a trap of his own making.
so "What you wish for others, comes true for you".
