Which country described below is the United States and which
is Pakistan?
Mystery
Country 1
(Article continues below)
Mystery
Country 2
- 2400
protesters imprisoned in 2004 in one protest alone, manhandled,
pepper-sprayed,
and shot with rubber bullets
- The president assumed power in
a much-disputed
election, fraught with hanging chads, supporters storming
the election returns recount, Supreme Court intervention,
and admitted e-voting
fraud, under-counted
ballots, and other voting fraud
- Has been chipping away at the
" it's
just another G*^ D$%&# piece of paper" Constitution
with the Patriot Act, the destruction of Habeas Corpus (illegal
detentions without charges or hope of trial and torture -
Guantanamo is but one example), illegal wiretapping of private
citizens, imprisonment of anyone deemed an enemy combatant,
-can you think of more?
- Re-election of the president was
only
questionably legal
- Creeping toward a police state,
via control of the media, federally-sponsored
propaganda campaigns, violent silencing and/or detention
of protestors
- Extremists are making more powerful
inroads
As
Mystery Country 1, Musharraf has little incentive to re-institute
Pakistan's Constitution, nor to hold elections that might
potentially oust him because he is reassured the U.S. will NOT
stop its flow of aid ($493 million over next three years) to Pakistan
because his country is needed to "fight
Al-Qaeda and its militants." Condoleeza Rice was instructed
to call up Musharraf and give him a tiny little swat on the back
of hand, “Now, now, Pervez, m' dear, you simply must
behave.”
Meanwhile,
at Mystery Country 2, there are still months to go before the
illegal administration is removed from power, pending the sudden
growth of spine on the part of Congress to oppose the “Lil'
Dictator.
