It's time for the U.S. to break diplomatic relations with Pakistan until President/dictator Pervez Musharraf leaves office entirely.
His emergency rule decree is getting far worse: not only has he suspended Pakistan's constitution, and jailed lawyers and judges who oppose his unconstitutional moves, but now he's arrested former Prime Minister and opposition leader Benazir Bhutto and about 5,000 of her supporters to prevent a massive march scheduled for today.
President Bush needs to stop defending Musharraf; this guy is running the risk of turning Pakistan into another Iran, which we don't need. Today's situation inside Pakistan looks a lot like Iran in 1979, just before the Shah was thrown out. We have an unpopular dictator who is supported by the United States, and our President is supporting this dictator because he does what we want him to do.
It's going to backfire on us, big time, if we don't support the quest of Pakistan's people to restore democratic rule to the country.
