Pervez Musharraf Declares Emergency in Pakistan

Zeemax, that is different because it did not exist in Pakistan before. Funny how the standards for comparison change in a second when we shift from the government to the opposition.

And...Mr Masadi...what kind of BS are you spewing about media before Musharraf? Are you actually telling us that the 50 channels that exist now and openly do anything they please existed before 2000? NTM and Zee TV did not do what Geo, Aaj, Business Plus, and the others all do now. Please put forth some solid facts so as to provide some credence to your point of view.

Mr Masadi...your personal attacks reveal your distaste for purposeful discourse. My anger was directed at public figures whom rightfully deserve criticism from the public. Your personal attack on me is representative of how the "democratic opposition" handles any democratic debate. Your name Masadi...you wouldnt happen to be one of those MQM or PPP chamchas would you? I know of a Masadi who is a Bibi chamcha and also current MQM thug. Vested interests come out very clearly Mr Masadi and your irrational hatred for Mushy is probably based on those factors.

"Must the expat son of a well known bastard". My God Masadi, you dont believe in open discussion do you? In your next line you even talk about freedom of speech. Its exactly this type of open stupid hypocrisy that Bibi and her cronies regularly dole out to the public and expect to be swallowed.

For your information none of my family has lived in Pakistan for the last 30 years. I am the only person from my family in Pakistan, and have returned many years ago to call this place my home. No political connections and I belong to a minority community, unlike the Masadis who are politicians. I suggest that if you proclaim to believe in democracy you should at least be willing to discuss matters with others without resorting to the kind of behavior you showed demonstrated.

I saw on TV day before yesterday some PML-N member calling Musharraf a "kutta" and his administration officials "billas". This is on Pakistani television and the administration allows this behavior. You will never see this freedom again under any other leader we have at the moment. Media, Chief Justice and activist lawyers are to blame for this crisis.

Everyone seems to be bad-mouthing Musharraf right now and I would like to ask those critics a few questions;

1. Do you remember what media freedom was like before Musharraf? I have been an anchor on Pakistani television and I can tell you that we never faced any restrictions, even when we brutally maimed a senior government official on one of our programs. We never feared the government as long as Mushy was on top. The media has repaid him with utter disloyalty...every station is anti-Musharraf for no reason except to create controversy and hype. They always play the role of instigator.

2. Do you remember that we almost defaulted on our debts and were almost declared bancrupt under Bibi?

3. Do you see any alternatives in Bibi, Nawaz, Altaf, Fazlur Rehman, Qazi Hussain, or any of these other time-tested failures/criminals/terrorists?

4. Do you think that another government will be able to fight the fight against those who are suicide bombing us? Bibi would simply hand over the keys to the US army and tell us Pakistanis to stay out of the way.

5. Do you think that the policy of extra ordinary renditions would be any different in Bibi or any other criminal's administration?

6. Has not our economy provided countless jobs for us young, educated people who would otherwise have had to look abroad for such opportunities?

7. Did you see the return of all those tinted land cruisers filled with shady looking Sindhi fuedals the days Bibi was returning? Do you want to see these asshole Feudals on your streets again? They won't just be menacingly cruising our neighborhoods in their tinted cars giving us all threatening stares as they drive by, but they'll be in power if Bibi returns!

8. Did you see so much foreign investment during any other government's administration? How about bridges, roads, highways, major projects?

9. When was the last time any of our assemblies completed their full term? When did you ever see the Nazim of a city like Karachi being as accountable and communicating with the people of the city as you have during Mushy's administration?

10. Where do you think all of us young people who have decent jobs right now, working with media, or IT, or an investment bank...where do you think we'll have to go if Bibi returns or if Musharraf's plans are derailed? I think we'll all have to leave the country to look for jobs abroad. It will be the saddest day of our lives....we came with such hopes and ambitions for our country.

Very very sad day for us all. I trust Mushy and I believe that he is doing what is best for the country. I was terrified when I saw Bibi returning and our "democracy" going back 10 years once again. This action may possibly turn the clock back 1.5 years and give us another chance to enter phase 3 (the return to democratic rule). I trust Mushy boy because I remember what it was like before. I personally think we should hang Chaudry Iftikhar for instigating national instability, Aitizaz Ahsan and all of those bastards causing this should be strung up for creating this mess. They all sound so sincere and the cause (independance of the judiciary) seems to noble, but it is a false flag that smells of vested interests that are keen to destabilize all that has been achieved in the last 7 years. Kill Aitizaz Ahsan and Chaudry Iftikhar!!
