Firstly, I don’t get too hung up on who is a dictator and who is not. I really couldn’t be bothered by system of governance.Mush was a dictator and he had no business ruling but I will take Mush any day of the week over democratic Nawaz and Zardari. Also what type of "democracy" is this that the party can only be given to your offspring or relative/husband. Heck the Pak Army is hundred times more democratic than these political parties. Only the top officers in the army make it to General level and then the most competent of those is picked as COAS.
Also these folks keep forgetting that Mush left an economy that was growing at 7-9% with minimal current account deficits, trade deficit and excellent numbers for FDI. Then "democracy" came and as we know "democracy is the best revenge".

I only get worked about who has done more to destroy the country’s sovereignty.
Musharraf destroyed the country’s sovereignty by not reigning in the dogs that made Pakistan an international pariah. Like other dictators he did some stuff right. But in the end his negatives outweigh there positives.
The ppp and the PML on the other hand have really done nothing of note other than self preservation: ppp’s crowing establishment is the passage of the 18th amendment. Whereas the PML, if you ignore the low class corruption that all political parties have, has basically wrecked the economy by running useless vanity projects and spending money which they don’t have.
I don’t really fault the pml for corruption, that’s a human condition. I fault their economic mismanagement
