Read this article by Pat Buchanan the other day, and have since been unable to take it off my mind. Apparently, the author is criticizing Bush for supporting democracy in Pakistan. But when did Bush - or any other American administration - support democracy in Pakistan? Actually, Buchanan's line of argument lays bare the American rulers' mindset.
The article is pegged on recent events in Pakistan. Says the illustrious writer:
"A pro-American general in charge of the army and nuclear weapons may be preferable to having custody of those weapons turned over to a coalition government of politicians brought to power through a plebiscite in a country where anti-Americanism is pandemic."
My comment? Bigotry, thy name is America!
"Pat Buchanan has been a senior adviser to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000." His article: Democracy vs. Security
