Musharraf A Serious Liability And Should Resign

[Matilda]

"Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf is seen as complicit in the death of the opposition leader Benazir Bhutto and Western governments should stop supporting him, the International Crisis Group says in a new report.

The President has become so unpopular that his continued leadership of the country means "the international community could face the nightmare of a nuclear-armed, Muslim country descending into civil war", the Brussels-based think tank said.

The ICG said Musharraf was a "serious liability", called on him to resign and for a quick transition to a democratically elected civilian government."

1. Yeah, Sure, That's Gonna Happen

Doesn't anybody get the idea of cultural differences yet? Not to mention the nature of dictatorship (other than BushCheneyCo)?

2. He won't go willingly, that's certain.

But if support from the U.S. was withdrawn, he'd find the going very tough. I think this report
is a call for the U.S. to wake up, but we all know Bush once he's set his course ....

3. Even Without US Support, It's Doubtful Musharraf Would Bow Out Gracefully

He's got more than one ally, after selling nukes around the world...hell, he's got nukes himself!
