But that's was Saddam Husein's title too, and he was also a DICTATOR.
So, what's the Difference ?

To pelezurgui: So, for you, Chávez is a dictador and Pervez Musharraf is a democratic president? Are you serious?

Pakistan is America's ally, so Musharraf's not such a bad dictator (Saddam stopped being America's ally so he lost these privileges). the lesser of two evils, or just hypocrisy?

Hmm.. i don't be attentive to. i think of Mr Musharraf is a sprint bit a bully and is arresting all people who's a probability to his skill. I additionally think of with all the police and army distracted by rounding up harmless voters , somebody may well be plotting an atrocity interior Pakistan. i think of Musharrafs Emergency Rule is going to backfire on him, actually.

There is a difference
General Pervez Musharraf (born August 11, 1943) is the President, the Chief of Army Staff of the Pakistan Army and the fourth serving General to lead Pakistan. He took power on October 12, 1999 after a reactionary coup d'état which was assisted by the U.S during and after its duration, ousting Nawaz Sharif, the ex-Prime Minister, thereby assuming the title of Chief Executive. Later on, he was declared the President of Pakistan on June 20, 2001 after winning the electoral college majority.
You do note that we are the ones who helped both of them overthrow their governments.
Iraq was a Republic, the same as us, though they sort of did away with their constitution.
Musharraf, no matter how he got to power, is the elected president of his country. and thus the title!

Musharraf was a General as I recall and became President as the result of a Military Coup. But, he is still the President, it is the position that he holds, without regard to how he got the job.
Hugo Chavez is President of Venezuela, but he is also a Dictator. He is commonly called a Popular President, but he stole the election and Jimmy Carter swore that he didn't. So much for Jimmy Carter.

I'm forever reminding the left that words have actual definitions and that titles are valid regardless of whether or not they agree with them...so in fairness, I have to remind a fellow conservative when he crosses that line as well. Regardless of how he obtained the title, he's still the President of Pakistan.

I told you in the spanish area, and I'm going to tell you again:
Don't be so delicate. CNN also calls the Cuba's Tyrant, Fidel Castro, "president".
I don't know what are you trying to prove.

In my opinion it depends on the reporter. He is refered as but not really is? Words. Perhaps incorrect. CNN has changed alot recently. I go BBCWorldNews now.

Musharraf is a friend to the US and it is a sign of respect

That is his title. One normally would expect to be called by his title.
