It’s not just the moustache and glasses, President Pervez Musharraf and Admiral William Adama have quite a few things in common…

—

• Both led coup attempts against their civilian governments.
• Both men arrested and imprisoned their presidents, later granting them amnesty.
• Each has an uneasy alliance with an perceived enemy.
• Both are sceptical of religious leaders.
• Both have led daring military raids.
• Both have been the subject of assasination attempts, from within their inner circle.
• Both have been involved in nuclear proliferation.
• Both exist in societies where the military holds the keys to power.
• One was created by a man called Ronald, the other fought in a war created by a man called Ronald.

And of course, both have great dialogue, written by talented American speechwriters 😉
