benazir bhutto the pakistani politition returned to pakistan yesterday to take up the challenge to try to win back her position and rid the government of right wing facist muslim dictators that are running the country now.
her welcome home party was marked in true islamic style by a suicide bomber killing over a hundred people whilst trying to kill ms bhutto. i for one wish her all the luck in the world. this woman stands for peace and equality for her followers whilst the oposition are nothing more than a dictatorship run by taliban style mullahs. ms bhutto could make a big difference to the poor pakistanis who are being slaughtered by the followers of islam in the name of allah because they choose to be christian or other faith. good luck ms bhutto your gunna need it pet.Pakistan is ruled by a right-wing military government led by General Musharref and Ms. Bhotto is a pro-democracy liberal. They are political adversaries. The islamic fundamentalists who committed the bomb outrage yesterday (assuming they were befind it) are attacking both sides. They’ve tried several times to kill Musharref and now Ms. Bhutto.
This illustrates the true nature of the jihadists – they are against everyone except their own narrow viewpoint. That’s why, if Bush had lost the last US presidential election, a Democrat president would still be facing the same decisions in pursuing the war on terror.
Too many people fail to realise that it matters not whether we westerners are hawkish right-wingers or appeasing pacifist liberals – we are the same in the eyes of the terrorists, we are ‘infidels’ who they believe it is their duty to kill.
We need to look to history and the position of the Jews under Nazizm – it made no difference if they were leftist Jews, right-wing Jews, they were all part of Hitler’s final solution that was intended to be applied next to the 20 million Slavs in Europe, had the Third Reich survived.
Another fatal bomb blast in Pakistan today. While the world watches Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and Israel, Pakistan looks like it’s quietly becoming a major flashpoint.
A political struggle is going on between a military dictator and a populist democratic contender, both of whom are friendly to the west. But all this is going on in a country where islamist jihadists are growing in strength and parts of the country are no-go areas for the government security forces. Al Qaeda and now the Taliban too are operating in Pakistan. The Taliban movement was nurtured by Pakistan in the past as a means of keeping neighbouring Afghanistan quiet, but now the Taliban is a Frankenstein monster that has turned on its creator.
So Pakistan could dissolve into civil war. This would have an effect on its bigger neighbour, India. Although muslims are a minority of India’s population, India still has the third largest muslim population in the world. There are about 140 million muslims in India, out of a total population of just over a billion, while the total population of Pakistan is 164 million, most of whom are muslims.
I work in Pakistan some years ago and I am not happy to see her back.
On the surface she modernity and democracy, but her and her hubby stole millions.
I can just image the “Yankee kick backs” she getting now.
She should have stay away, but like most power mad loonies she comes back for more and she don’t care who suffers or pays for it with their lives.
1) Military dictatorship? 2) Corrupt populist democrat? 3) Taliban jihadists? That’s the choice in Pakistan. 3 is far worse than either 1 or 2 so I guess we should accept Musharref and Bhutto, warts and all – they are mere acne compared to the leprosy that is the Taliban.
*quick thinking*
Someone needs to set up a branch of donor card operatives over there and be quick about it!
I like Pervez Musharraf, he a good man dealing with an impossible situation.
Pakistan is a back wards thinking place that must be dragged into the 21 century by its noise.
Musharraf is doing that slowly, there still the corrosion of corruption and smell of fear, but things are moving forward.
The main UN target in Pakistan is to end the system of close marriages in the same family and child salves.
Who knows in 50 years they may do with people like Musharraf in power, but we all know he will be killed sooner rather than later.
Its about time we all stop placing our views on a country that is little more than a 3rd world hell hole that uses “traditions” has a reason for backwards thinking polices.
Some countries face a choice between Islamist rule or secular totalitarianism. Given the choice, I think I’d plump for the latter.
get used to it folks its coming to a town near you in the next ten years. :lol:
In the TV coverage of this looming tragedy that is building in Pakistan, the world’s most powerful muslim country, one thing I noticed is how most women appear to be either in Western clothes or Indian type saris. Lots are not wearing headscarves and those who do go for the sort worn by our grandmothers to protect their hair-dos rather than islamic hijab. Also most men are not dressed in radical white with long beards.
