Crooks and Liars:
Bill Moyers looks at the quandary we find ourselves in Musharraf’s Pakistan vis à vis stability in the Middle East that has eerie parallels to our schizophrenic relationship with Saddam Hussein in Iraq:
Musharref and Saddam Hussein, our friend only twenty years ago, were cut from the same cloth…so once again America’s support of a dictator has backfired. Musharraff now says elections will be held by February and he’ll quit the army…but he’ll still be the man in power so we face a quandary: back a dictator against his own people in the name of a failed strategy to fight terrorists…or back the people and risk democracy. The U.S. invaded Iraq saying democracy was just around the corner. but more than four years of war produced chaos, not democracy.

Yep, here we go with another rerun....Bill Moyers is right.
TGCN my thoughts are will Al Qaeda come in to win and take control of Pakistan. Remember Hamas won the open election.
