And now the gloves come off and we have an open-ended state of emergency following an election, with Musharraf acting more like Hussein when he took power.

Put numbers to America's support for Musharraf. That's $130 million per month - almost all in military aid. Most of it did not exist until after 2000 - the Democrats had enough smarts to stay away from Musharraf - using UG reasoning. This is how Urban Guerrilla says America will promote democracy? Musharraf even quotes (misquotes) Lincoln to prove he is the good guy. Didn't George Jr look into Musharraf's eyes to see a promoter of democracy? Would George have lied about this to Americans? Musharraf has even arrested the Chief Justice of Pakistan's Supreme Court for conspiracy again Pakistan's government. But again another Muslim leader selected for his cooperation with America. How many more Islamic nations (even Turkey) will turn against America due to George Jr's political agendas.
Never forget the discussion in Project for a New American Century that said we must protect *OUR* oil. When does civil war start in Nigeria?
