Should Musharraf have declared state of emergency?

People might raise their eyebrows but I believe that Musharraf did the right thing in declaring Martial Law. Politicians in Pakistan including Benazir Bhutto are contributing to the destabilization of their country. What Pakistan needs right now is not an immediate restoration of democracy but stability. The Pakistani forces are combating the Islamic militants, and destabilization created by politicians does not help. That is why jailing the dissidents and making the country stable is Musharraf's only option.
