To revolt is a natural tendency of life. Even a worm turns against the foot that crushes it. In general, the vitality and relative dignity of an animal can be measured by the intensity of its instinct to revolt.

Signs of things to come

Two important news items which should indicate the drift of things to come:(1) Former US Commander Criticizes Bush on Iraq, and (2) Bush Ally Defeated in Australia. Hopefully, a John-Howard-like fate awaits Musharraf if the lawyers, students, and Imran Khan and other resistance figures in Pakistan can join their forces and stick to the demand that they want the dismissed Judges of the Supreme Court reinstated. After he removes his uniform, Musharraf will not have the mighty war machine of Pakistan following his every order. By then, Imran Khan, the students and lawyers should be ready to mount an earth-shattering resistance and to try to bring the deposed judiciary back. That will be one way to contain the neo-liberal people-eating machine we have got roaring in Pakistan.
