At present, a democratic Pakistan is likely to be a brief prelude to the long, dark night of a Taliban-style tyranny.You've just gotta love the loony left.
Bhutto, as it turned out, lived only as long as Musharraf's emergency measures lasted. When he lifted them under renewed American pressure, she died.
Various leftbot bloggers are losing their minds over George Jonas suggesting that Pakistan may fall into screaming chaos without Pervez Musharraf's rigid hand on the tiller... while simultaneously crying about the United States removing bloodthirsty dictator Saddam Hussein... and plunging Iraq into chaos.
You can't have it both ways, dummies.
