Musharraf took off his uniform today, and will start a new term as a civilian president tomorrow. The retirement of Musharraf as chief of army is the most significant development in Pakistan since the "first" coup of 1999. BBC News has a good summary of this development. Gen Kiyani takes over as the military's new top gun, a post that history has shown us to be more powerful than the President or the Prime Minister in Pakistan.
