Reader comment on item: Bush's Middle East Hopes [and His Failures]
in response to reader comment: Us Support of Dictatorship
Submitted by Shahid Kinnare (United States), Jan 22, 2008 at 21:15
Joe, In case Pakistan Peoples Party which is secular and the largest Party and could easly win the election. And our Friend Dictator does not allow them to win actually he killed Benezir Bhutto. Now, if we support him do not you think people of Pakistan would love us. We gave General Mush 10 Billion us dollar and what he does with our money put Chief Justice of Pakistan Supreme Court in Jail. Can you imagine President Bush doing same.
By supporting Dictator like Musharraf and House of Saud we only send message to the people in these country that we love Dictator. I think that is one of the reason the people in these countries hate us. Do you know that Laila Khaled a Planstine hero was christain. The Mayor of Bethlhem is Christian and a member of Hamas. And I assure you that hezbullah biggest supporters in lebanon are christian.
