BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes from articles mentioning Pervez Musharraf
The removal of Musharraf means Sharif and Zardari no longer have common cause, and the jostling for power between them is likely to get very ugly just when the country most needs them to put aside personal enmities and deal with the problems at hand
was said
in The Hindu
Musharraf has left his country in a total mess. The ‘war on terror’ is being lost. The economy is in tatters with inflation out of control, at its highest for 30 years. Stocks have plummeted and the rupee has lost a quarter of its value in less than three months. Basic commodities such as wheat, sugar and oil are beyond the means of most Pakistanis. Power cuts are a daily occurrence
was said
in The Hindu
The ultimate question that confronted me was whether it was in our national interest to destroy ourselves for the Taliban. Were they worth committing suicide over? The answer was a resounding.
was said
in Malaysia Sun
Although a dictator, Mr. Musharraf is an intelligent and enlightened man, one dedicated to his country's best interests and advancement. The comparison that comes to mind is Ataturk. Pakistan is barely a country in certain respects. It is an explosion of extremes, religious, political and economic.
