The Good Monster: Musharraf\'s Cultural Legacy

Re: # 22

Anil, good to hear a voice of reason in all this madness.

I have already alerted people to the grassroots movement in Pakistan to have Musharraf become prez for life. Please see the following article on AllVoices.com that confirms this.

Fundamentalism and Violence

and let me knock out the century here by stating that the only just war is when the aggressor invades your home, and you have to protect your people.

1. A just war is in self defense (not pre-emptive).
2. It is fought in your homeland, for you are the defender.

hope this helps :)

dear chaccha jee,

unfortunately you are unfortunate!

You are knee deep in nostalgia. Pakistan has moved on. We are waking up to the wonders of dictatorships. Instead of resisting resistance, we are learning to embrace it.

All good and all bad in Pakistan, is a result of a dictatorship. The democracies have added nothing, usually subtracted a lot.

The countries I had listed, were not to show that "look there are other dictators around the world", but rather, to show you immensely popular leaders that are or will become dictators. Why? Cause 4 years is just not enough!

Long live Musharraf! Musharraf for life long dictatorship! Pakistan Zindabad!

imho,

the chief justice has no credibility. These same judges were quiet when Nawaz sharif was raping the judiciary. It was the same bogus judges that continue to support all usurptions, they remain corrupt.

The CJ is an opportunist, and the judiciary should NEVER be politicized. Which is exactly what the CJ was doing.

Shame on him. CJ ka mun kaala kar kay gaddhay pay bittha kar islamabad say lahore march karwani chahiyay :)

Dear chaccha jee and Dr. Sohail,

I am a keen and ardent supportor of the grassroots movement taking root in Pakistan to have Musharraf become president for life.

If Cuba can have Fidel
Libya can have Qaddafi
Palestine had Arafat
Venezuala can have Hugo Chavez (almost)
Bolivia can want Evo Morales

Why can Pakistan not have Musharraf as a life long dictator? Yes, I am not sugar coating anything. He would be a beloved and forward looking dictator. The results would either be prosperity or a bloody revolt that would throw out the complete elite institution! A win-win in either case.

That's why I am supporting this grassroots movement, and perhaps, so should you!

Javaria,

wonderfully expressed. I agree with you. Let us all get rid of our Mercedes Benzes and BMWs and buy hybrid suvs.

There is not time like today, especially in the midst of the christmas spendathon, to realize the futility of all this consumerism!

Reverend Billy has our back. Check out the documentary "What would Jesus buy" in which Reverend Billy talks about the Shopaclypse and urges people not to buy. I guess an equivalent "What would Mohammad (PBUH) buy"? Would not be that successful in Pakistan...

Another well written article Nadeem.

Although I am not from the socialist communist or whatever other ideology you adhere to, I am a keen and ardent supportor of the grassroots movement taking root in Pakistan to have Musharraf become president for life.
