Straight To The Point

If you want to see the probable end result of Bush's power grab and clampdown on freedom, take a look at Pakistan where Musharraf has declared a state of emergency for no obvious reason other than to prevent the courts from declaring his re-election illegal, but his stated reason was "to clamp down on extremism", something we've all heard Bush use as an excuse before.

America gives Pakistan billions of dollars in aid, and US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the US would be "mindful not to do anything that would undermine ongoing counter-terrorism efforts...". So they're effectively supporting him.
