Rudy says we need MORE INTERVENTION in Pakistan

The turning point in the short history of that country was the proxy war the Pakistani people waged for us against the soviet communists. We didn't want the soviets to gain the warm waters of the Arabian sea and needed to stop them in Afghanistan. What did we do? prop a dictator named Zia a military general who ironically had benazir's dad hanged after he was 'democratically' elected. To win that war thousands of young men were recruited from local seminaries or madrassah's funded by the CIA. There were hundreds of these maddrassah mushrooming in the country indoctrinating them with hatred against the infidels=communists. Many Arabs were also recruited to fight the commis in afghanistan and Osama was among these. So when the soviet finally left Afghanistan there was a whole generation of men brought up to wage war and nothing else with weapons in their hands and no one to turn to. Obviously they were used by the people with political motives to receive their ends. Much of the heroin and arms were smuggled into Pakistan during that time. Our government with the soviets defeated stopped funding the country and Zia was 'killed' in a plane that had a bomb on it. The people of Pakistan who despised Zia for his tyrannical rule saw how much our government was backing a dictator and called our demand for democracy a hypocrisy. Plus they despise the propping up of religious seminary places funded by US and saudi money.

The people of pakistan distrust the US government over its meddling in its internal affairs and proping up dictators and having ' western' grown leaders like Benazir thrusted upon them. Musharraf another stooge has made a mockery of the Pakistani constitution amending it at will without any approval. He has been rewarded with 10 billion in our hard earned money and all that money has gone to the military industrial complex in the country and the elite beurocracy and feudal land owners. He is playing the extremist game to prop up support for himself.

But now to the OM and its policy towards Pakistan. Everyone knows Musharraf;s time is up as his popularity is at an all time low. The need of a controlled leader is required in Pakistan not to fight extremism (b/c face it that will never end as long as the root cause is not addressed ie foreign interventionism and more autonomy to the people). There in came the role of Benazir and she was in self exile because of corruption cases against her. Some sources quoting a figure of 1.5 bn looted. She had been meeting top British (milbrand) and American officials (Gates and negroponte) and the people of Pakistan were distrustful of her motives. Pakistani people are now very guarded about the politicians who have a history of corruption and foreign allegiances. So when Benazir stepped in Pakistan she was attacked the same day and survived. The extremist who again are generalized as they include many nationalistic movements and the former mujahideen of the Afghan war were out to get her. This woman was NOT seen as a symbol of democracy and the people were also mystified by the exposure she was getting from CNN and the likes. Lets face it. If someone cannot do anything in two terms of office they can hardly change anything in their third. Infact the amended constitution doesn't even allow a third term.

So when she was assassinated today it came as no surprise. But what needs to be taken from this is that the people of Pakistan don't want any foreign intervention and hate the policies towards them. They don't want the 'extremists' either because they jeopardized their national sovereignty.

Lesson to be learned? The OM does not air news about fall of the dollar, the inflation , the national debt, the risk of losing more civil liberties here in America but instead has its own agenda of spreading fear of these people in Pakistan. The fear of their nuclear assets. Which really is a joke because any informed person would know that a nuclear bomb cannot be stolen because there are a series of codes to protect it. Its a piece of metal until activated. Besides how these weapons are made and work it is ludicrous to suggest how they will fall in 'evil' hands. So yes its more warmongering and more cause for blowback.

For I can tell you first hand the people of Pakistan or anywhere in the world don't hate us. But yes if you ask them about our policies they do get angry and you would understan why.

I found it incredible to watch in real time the SPIN put on the assasination of Bhutto by MSNBC, CNN, and the White House briefing. All talking incessantly about "radical Islam", "terrorists", "attempting to thwart democracy". Heck, I even heard on BOTH channels the speculation that it might have been "Al Quaida"!!!!

......Could someone please correct me if I am wrong, but was she not the OPPOSITION leader against the established, UNDEMOCRATIC current administration there (Pakistan)? The ones whom declared martial law recently and postponed elections? Seems to me the simplest explanation as to who might have killed her just MIGHT be the people whom have the most to gain.

THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN.

Oh yeah....aren't they one of our "biggest allies" in the "global war on terror"? Hmmmmmmmm......

So far, the inference has been raised that al Qaeda is behind this. Several commentators have already talked about our next steps. Who knows what will come out of this?

I think that the Military Industrial Complex is salivating over this one. I'm sure that there will be a push for some sort of involvement.
