Amb. Haqqani is a credit to his countrymen and -women and his government. It was a real pleaure to hear him speak. Thanks for hosting this.
The elephant in the room.
George "Democracy Promotion" Bush hypocritically clung to the tyrant until the very last. More proof--in case anyone needed any--that Bush and the neocons' "democracy promotion" efforts are nothing more than noble rhetoric, useful for villifying their enemies but inapplicable to those who have sworn fealty to the emperor.
"Musharraf gutted the rule of law in Pakistan over the previous year and a half, including sacking its Supreme Court. He attempted to do away with press freedom, failed to provide security for campaigning politicians and strove to postpone elections indefinitely.
The Bush administration has made a regular practice of undermining democracy in places where local politics don't play out to its liking, and in that, at least, Musharraf was a true partner."
