Remember those antrax letters? Few do. They were sent out during the time our representatives and senators were supposed to be reading the Patriot Act to decide whether they wanted to sign it. They ended up signing it because they didn''''t want anthrax. The ONLY thing we know about that antrax is that it was produced in a US military facility. There was a bigger effort to go after steroid use in pro sports than there was to find out who mailed the antrhax. The Patriot Act gives our president AND vice president dictator-like powers.

How is the situation in Pakistan that different from what is happening in the US?

Sounds like what is happening in Pakistan right now, could be happening here tomorrow! Why is it, when dictators head full tilt into dictatorship, they always say "Lincoln did it, why can''t we?" If I remember my history, Lincoln went to the Congress FIRST to get approval for his actions and above all, he didn''t suspend the Constitution and arrest anyone who spoke out against him.

I am sure that the Great Emperor Bush II is really taking notes on how Musharref is handling his "crises" to see if he can pull the same thing off here! A lot can happen in 13 months and we all know that Bush is irrational enough to turn what''s left of our "democracy" into dictatorship overnight.

All those who fought and died in all wars since the Revolutionary War have to be crying in their graves over what could happen here tomorrow!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!

I bet Bush is foaming at the mouth with jealousy; he''s stuck with trying to stack the Supreme Court instead of just incarcerating the ones who disagree with him.

I beleive we can all say the the Republicon/Neocon so called war on terror, war on anything to divert the publics attention away from the grand theft of the US treasury, is another jonGOPig failure. In November, 2008, we will put an end to the jinGOpig Nazis of ever having control of this once great country ever again.

Musharraf is clearly targetting the judicial branch of government, that branch that represents codified ethics in governance (ie the law as written). This makes Musharraf ''the law''. Suppporters of the unitary presidency in America might want to take a look at where that leads.
