America needs to wake up! We don't need 'democracy' in Pakistan or Iraq. We need strong central governments who can stand on their own. Democracy is Pakistan would mean another IRAN. I, for one, do not want a nuclear version of Iran in Pakistan. THINK about what the majority would vote for in free Pakistan elections.Democracy is not the only system that can do what is right. Musharrif is the much safer bet for the world. US government doesn't get it.
Howard, you make a valid point when you say that democracy is not necessarily the right system of government for every part of the world, even though many westerners (particularly Americans) believe it is the ONLY acceptable system. However, this point alone does not mean that Musharraf is the right person for Pakistan. Remember how he came to power, remember that he still wears the uniform that brought him to power, and also, remember that the Americans are not the only people calling for him to step down. He has lost his credibility on the world stage.
and he's a great actor as well.
You fools. Pakistan already has NUCLEAR bombs!!!
Where were you guys all these time??!!! The lack of knowledge in Americans are very disturbing!
Why is this a top news??!!! What is Pakistan's importance in the world stage?
Tired of hearing about this drama! Bring down the oil price plz!
Of course I am aware that Pakistan already is a nuclear power. The point I am trying to make here is that if the Islamofascists take power in Pakistan from a 'democratic' election, then all bets are off. Terrorists WILL get to make a nuclear cloud in the West. I think Musharref adds stability to the equation even if he isn't well liked.
