He was a nationalist general trying to save his country, and a patriot. He was a dictator, he did not rule as a tyrant but as a statesmen. Pakistan should be careful what it wishes for...

an unstable world as America played limited war after
invasion of Afgan and Iraq ..Bush never followed up on his big words and allowed Syria and Iran to continue terror.
1. Lebanon and defeat of Israel army there
2. taking of British seamen
3. Shiite gangs given IED’s
4. Russia sees the weakness and acts
5. we now have Afgan heating up, Iran still intact, a
report of a major offensive by Shiites trained in Iran
heating up Iraq
6. The world is moving towards a major confrontation as
India looks at an unstable Pakistan, Russia tests USA
and the EU/Nato..
7. Looks like a plan is moving ahead very rapidly and we
had better stop it now before it leads to WWIII

It could be argued that his downfall was brought about by his refusal to act as a despotic tyrant. Another factor to watch now is India's state of military altert as it monitors Pakistan's internal politics.
