Hail To The Theif!

A lot of people saw it comming, they warned us against it, but it has finally happened all the same. General Pervez Musharraf, Dictator of Pakistan for the last 9 years and one of america's closest allies on the war on terror, finding himself at risk of being ruled against by the country's supreme court for illegally holding the office of the president while being the head of the army, has declared a "state" of emergency and effectively silenced any opposition .

Members of the provincial assemblies have resigned in protest. disenting voices have been silenced by illegal arrests. The constitution has been thrown out and a new Provisional Constitutional order has been brought in , authored by the general himself to give him complete and total power. The United States has expressed that it is deeply distressed by the situation while the pentagon has issued a statement that this will not in any way affect the flow of funds and military equipment to Pakistan.

sort of clear how distressing this is for the American government, meanwhile 160,000,000 Pakistanis have had all their rights revoked.Their freedom of movement , freedom of speech , freedom to speak out against the administrations injustices have all ceased to exist. Media channels were taken off the air, and blamed with not towing the administrations line enough. newspaper presses have been shut down by military personnel and Pakistan has become an information vaccum. All brought to you by a man who is still fully supported by the U.S government, the oldest democracy in the world. oh the irony.
