Impeachment threat
for Musharraf

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7546961.stm
<snip>
Pakistan's ruling coalition parties say they have agreed "in principle" to start impeachment proceedings against President Pervez Musharraf.

Party representatives are said to be looking at a draft impeachment resolution, but further details about how it may proceed were not available.

The president's allies were defeated in elections in February, but he has so far resisted pressure to quit.

Latest reports say Mr Musharraf has cancelled a trip to the Olympics.

5. I guess their fragile democracy demands such things...while our robust and healthy
democracy can do without such things.

3. The president was voted out but he wont leave.
We should watch this carefully because it may come here to the US.

7. Problem is here we'll probably let it happen
There they'll probably burn the capital to the ground and display Mushie, "Mussolini" style.

4. I suspect Mushie's eventual and inevitable "impeachment"
won't be done through any lawful means.
