I recently read an article that discussed the issues regarding the President of Pakistan, Musharraf and how he declared the country in a state of emergency so he could remain in power. Many believe, as the author of the article suggests, that even though other countries can tell Musharraf that they are not pleased with his actions, there is really nothing that anyone can due. This is all despite the uproar from many Pakistan civilians who are upset with Musharraf’s actions.I am, personally, always trying to keep myself up to date with what is happening in the world, especially in the Middle East.
The whole conflict with Musharraf is disturbing. Pakistan, a country that the United States says it can depend on, is now facing leadership issues. This is one reason that I found this article so interesting and chose to use it. One thing that I learned was that not only are other countries upset with Musharraf, but many of his own people are absolutely furious with him. This article applies to me in a few ways. With all the problems in the Middle East as it is, Musharraf is just causing problems that are simply unneeded and really expose him for being corrupt. Again and again, his people and other countries are telling him that he should not have seized power by claiming the emergency. I really think that this was just a way for him to hold on to his power because he might be afraid that the recount for the election that Pakistan just held might rule against him. This kind of thing just bothers me cause the last thing we need is for another leader to misuse power in the Middle East.
Again, I just want to see you all have to say about this. What do you think he should do or do you actually think he had legitimate reasons for announcing the state of emergency.

Those crazy Pakistanis...
time to roll in the invisible tanks!
See this is why the world is screwed up. People have systems that they manipulate to gain more power. That is unbelieveable believable power. Musharraf is a joke of a leader. He won't stay in power for long. either the UN or US will force him out. That is because we are just that cool.
Since I did an article on this awhile ago, I believe Musharraf may becoming the next Saddam Hussein. I mean, the only reason the guy is calling a "state of emergency" in Pakistan is because the Supreme Court (in Pakistan) was going to take away his presidency (since they thought it was an unfair run or somethin'). So Musharraf freaked out. The US won't do anything 'cause we don't want to lose an "ally" but the whole situation is just ridiculous. It's almost funny how the leaders of the world are more immature than 6-year-olds.
