Okay, let’s shift the light towards democracy and its campaigners.Here on one side we have people campaining for democracy and on the other side we have the Same people preventing democracy from taking root. Guessed what i am preaching about,yet?Yes our beloved American Govt vs Pakistan and its very turmoiled Govt.
This ‘Earth’ has seen nothing but attempts from democratic nations to spread their beliefs and ideals all over.None stronger than America(at least i think so!).The same country which invaded Iraq to spread the idea of democracy and to allow democracy to take root(i dont really belive it has taken root).The same country which has believed in Freedom of its people and Empowerment its own citizens.
Now that same Govt of that same country is using that very tool to get its own Job done.In pakistan we have the government trying to prevent democracy from taking root just for the fact that it makes their fight in terrorism much simpler and least complicated one.The Bush administration is secretly against the formation of a democratic government without Musharraf.Sadly,The Bush administration also supported the firing of supreme court judges just to expediete the trials of terrorists.
Two thoughts i had after reading all those summarised points in the papers today:
Why is the Preacher not following his own preachings?
Second:How do we accertain for the fact that the points about US govt preventing democracy in Pakistan is a true fact?After all we are presented with are interpretations of their actions.Many of them which may seem remotely suspicious.While the rest are just plain old assumptions that make most of us go “Yes..yes i agree…”.
I guess it proves one thing at least.There is nothing IDEAL in this very planet.Everything has its drawbacks.And even the saint has to against his own teachings for a good he believes in.Clearly Bush’s admin. believes in not having full fledged democracy in Pakistan.Or at least what the media is potraying right now.
