Who Are The Good Guys Again?

Pakistan's Musharraf Declares Emergency
Gen. Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency on Saturday, ahead of a crucial Supreme Court ruling on his future as president, thrusting the country deeper into political turmoil as it struggles with spreading Islamic militancy.

Seven Supreme Court judges immediately rejected the emergency, which suspended the current constitution. The government blocked transmissions of private news channels in several cities and telephone services in the capital, Islamabad, were cut.

"The chief of army staff has proclaimed a state of emergency and issued a provisional constitutional order," a newscaster on state Pakistan TV said, adding that Musharraf would address the nation later Saturday.
Remember, folks - this raving dictator is an ally of the U.S. The other raving madman - the democratically-elected President of a country which used to receive U.S. aid between the 1950s and the late 70s - is a threat to world sovereignty.

Got it? Because it's important you remember that the U.S. is a defender of freedom, at all times and in all places. It's not like the U.S. picks its allies as a matter of geopolitical convenience. Oh, no. The U.S. sides with Pakistan and threatens Iran as a matter of principle.
