Elections in Pakistan

Musharraf says he will not cling to power. I hope not, but who will come to power if not him? The future of Islam and politics of Islamic nations has been concentrated in central Asia for decades now (though many are still slow to see it and think of the Middle East when they think of Islam). I can only hope things get better, of course, but I don't think it unreasonable to be a trifle skeptical either.
