Quote from Musharraf's speech on taking the presidential oath of office
It is indeed a historic day and an emotional day for me. This is a milestone in the transition of Pakistan to the complete essence of democracy.
Elections alone do not mean democracy... We want democracy, we want human rights, we want civil liberties but we will do it our own way.
We understand our society, our environment better than anyone in the West (...which has an) unrealistic obsession with your form of democracy, your human rights and civil liberties... which you took centuries to (evolve), but you want us to adopt in months... this is not possible.
