Re: # 74
Tahmed this is a simple point which many on this website are failing to understand. In fact Mr Brovili Express started to abuse me when I tried to criticize Musharraf's steps to make Pakistan a police state

#72 isnt 8 years of posing as the lesser of two evils (military rule vs. mullah rule) enough for mush? and what kind of a low bar is it to be a lesser evil than terrorists?

i would rather have a corrupt politician who can be thrown out of power by the people if he/she does not shape up than have a supposedly honest general who refuses to leave even after 8 years of illegitimate rule.

Netizen unlike you even our mujahids are honorable no matter how low you hindus stoop we will never mass rape and mutilate women and children, you might think Modis have scared us, no they have only disgusted us and shown us the true face of hindus and hinduism which we had been warned of by our elders

You are welcome to heroworship modis to us it helps reveal your true and hidden face

HAHA..that's what you said in 1999..that a commando general has now taken over and he would kick dhoti wearing vajpayee's rear and get kashmir for the purelanders.

Beware of Indians like this netizen, they consider heroes those who mutilate muslim women and children for the sole crime of being muslim read the latest issue of Tehelka magazine.

Pakistanis no matter what crises the nation goes through, now you know why we need nuclear weapons to protect ourselves from beasts who praise demagogues and genociders?

South east Paksitan

Look in principle we are all pro democracy. But we know democracy means BB or NS. We know their record was crap and they were hugely corrupt , absolute poverty was at a level of 35% before 2000 and now its at 23% ...the economy was the pits.....etc etc.

Mush has done some good things for the country. His struggle for absolute authority getting a little hard to bear though and its making him do crazier and crazier things.

In the end we have two very flawed ways to go ....a sad pathetic democracy or a sad pathetic dictatorship.


North west pakistan

This is where the action is. Time is running out for us to avert a real catastrophe there ...and by that i mean civil war, famine, desperation and the usual fall out of disintegration....not to mention a potential hostile takeover by loonies. If only we knew who would be better at mending that fence without impaling themselves or anyone else.

Re: # 59
As I have said before Police state should be condemned in whatever Government arrangement we are refering to. I agree with you as long as you are against a police state.
