so look at my enemy

this attempt by the dictator Musharaf is fairly transparent. Let's forget the hundreds of Madrasses that he hasn't shut down yet.... [what's he been waiting for? more F-16's?]. ... Yes, the General has cultural things in common with Iran as well... let's cheer that also eh Israelis? Let's not be as stupid as the General would wish Westerners to be, please. The mentality is still the same. While the majority of his people struggle to survive at 3rd world poverty standards he has to be more concerned about the pending Indian invasion from Kashmir... [so his arms race is justified] yeah right. Unfortunately, in that neighborhood, the USA is forced to look for friends anywhere it can find them ... Anyways, I don't applaud this character. The man can't be trusted for anything except with keeping his power structure intact. Even if that means bowing [for the time-being] before some of his mortal enemies.
