Pakistan's Elections

Well, my brain is dry. And when I say dry, I mean, its resources are being diverted to non-blogging areas. So the posts may be sparse for a little while, but they'll pick up again soon.

Soooo....Pakistani elections anyone? Yeah, in the office, some people were "betting their life savings" that Musharraf would win. Good thing that person later declared their life savings were nothing. I think that the only reason the PPP won so many seats is due to increased international supervision. If the Americans weren't looking over his shoulder, we'd have seen much different results. I am not hopeful that this is indicative of a better and more democratic order. Actually, I'm more afraid that the international community is just going to groom themselves another puppet who will serve the international community's wants and needs before Pakistan's. That means not labelling everyone who disagrees with you an extremist *cough every government over in that general region cough*.

Whaddya think?
