Pakistan

I just, JUST heard this on the radio, and to prove that I know what I'm talking about, I am writing an immediate response, prediction, and analysis.

The news cast just said that the UN is demanding (I am pretty sure that was the word used) that Pakistan return to its constitution. What is this all about? Well, just recently, President General Musharraf of Pakistan has imposed "Emergency Rule" and has stayed in office beyond his term, suspending the constitution. Not unlike some steps Lincoln took during the Civil War. As with Lincoln, there is a very good reason for this. If you will recall (if you pay attention) Musharraf is an ally of the United States, and has been on our side, helping us with Afghanistan since we started dropping bombs on the Taliban and Al Qaeda there. Attempts have been made many times on his life by extremists in his own country, and the balance there is tenuous. Keep in mind Pakistan has nuclear weapons, and we really, REALLY don't want an Ayatollah-like extremist government getting their hands on them. Imagine a world in which Osama bin Laden has nuclear missiles in his possession.

So, basically, with the United States' support, Musharraf is staying in power for our benefit, and, if you believe in freedom, for Pakistan's as well. And Afghanistan's. And, if you consider the nukes, for the entire world's benefit. However, the UN, the anti-American organization that it is, is trying to counter this. If it is in the United States' interests, it must be bad, so they are demanding that Musharraf (a blessing of a leader in that region, that the world NEEDS there, if you look at the big picture) step down immediately. This is going to unfold into a giant attempt to hurt American interests, and will eventually be seen as a blatant attempt to hurt the United States. You mark my words, its a political maneuver against us. Just remember, you can look at the time of this post, that I said it first.
