Pakistani dictator Mushrraaf has expelled three British journalists after an article in UK daily ' Telegraph' editorial section titled 'Bankrupt Relationship' called Musharraf 'Sonofabitch' twice. The "old parlance" the paper referred to appears to be an oft quoted remark attributed to various American leaders about their preference for some dictators -- "He's a bastard, but he's our bastard." link to the article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2007/11/09/dl0902.xml It's funny, So while north west region of the country is falling into the hands of pro-Taliban activists, Mush is busy cracking down 'Dangerous' Human rights activists, lawyers, journalists and the most dangerous (Worst than terrorists) Judges. Read the first comment on that article page..
Musharif is now ultra dangerous to Pakistan and dangerous for the world. He is appearing to ease off on the taliban, al queda, and the extremist groups while battering the moderate population that would support other politicians, especially Benazir Bhutto. Meanwhile, he has taken billions from the US and Britain, not effectively negated extremist muslims in his nation, and is sitting on a nuclear arsenal. that is a dangerous tinderbox.
Funnily enough, during the 60 years of history as a country, Pakistan has whooping 32 years under various dictatorships.. But none of the previous dictatorship were as threatening as this one...
Threatening to everyone.. The key differences between any other previous dictatorships and this one are the Nukes and Talibani extremists...
Even in absence of Mushraff , pakistan cannot be declared safe. Previous dictators like Zia were the main force behind the creation of Taliban and Alquida . People can blame US also for the same but main onus has to be taken by the person who devastates his own nation.
