Bush and Musharaff - An unholy nexus

Desi Fun(da) ... and more.

While Bush finished off with his first ever visit to India there were protests all over the place. Well in Pakistan things went a bit further and a few bombs went off in keeping with the legacy of Pakistani terrorism. Well everyone who knows me knows my opinions on this matter. There is no demarcation or enimity between the Pakistani leadership and terrorists being trained in PoK. This has been shown to be true on numerous occasions, more recently during the Kargil conflict, the attack on the Indian Parliament and so on on so forth, where the assailants had Pakistani army identification cards on them.

What was more suprising was that the next day ie today (March 5th 2006) the newpapers across the globe report that Bush and Musharaff have signed a terror-pact for better cooperation between these two allies on the "terrorism" agenda that they have to fly the flags of freedom in the so called evil states in the world. But while this great agreement was being signed the opposition party leaders in Pakistan were kept under house arrest, many more party workers arrested for god know what reason.

America has always been stupid with its choice of allies while fighting its foes and this is just another shining example waiting to blow up in their face. They want to ally with a country that was born out of a rebel's idea of self-greatness while dividing the great Indian subcontinent on the basis of religion. Further this country has gone on to see less than a decade of true governance via democratic processes during its nearly 6 decade long independence.

Now if thats not an unholy nexus I dont know what is. Nice choice Bushie.
