What kind of strange "dance" is going in Pakistan?

Question

Anyone else get the feeling there is some sort of concerted charade going on?
If Musharaff wanted to treat Bhutto this way, why did he allow her back in the country? Why does he not put her on a plane and send her away? Is the United States playing all sides or shedding crocodile tears when musharraf is being a dictator and repressing democracy? After all, isnt Musharraf our puppet? Are the Bush administrations call for democracy sincere? Do they really want the will of the great majority of Pakistanis to win the day?

hummmm...jpc 8015 God help us if the dictator Musharraf loses power and the will of his people wins the day? For some reason, that statements sounds kind of weird...doesn't it? so in other words part of us being "Good with God" is to make sure other people do not have true self determination....like we do back home.

Answer 1

My brother-in-law is a Pakistani Muslim.

As soon as this happened I asked him about it.

His answer was this. Musharaff is just trying to fire some people in his government that he didn't have the authority to fire as president. Once he gets the right people out and new people in.. Democracy will return.

Answer 2

What we need to remember here is that Pakistan is full of people who hate Americans; and they are a nuclear power. Musharaff has kept those nuclear weapons out of the hands of the crazies who are willing to take themselves out if it means they can kill a few Americans or Jews. God help us if Musharaff loses power.
