On the corrupted and disgraced capitalist entity, Dubai, only a few weeks ago three parties cynically and cleverly sketched out the future of a colonial Pakistan, voided of its Constitution and inheritance.
Today we are witnessing the acting-out, the highly successful accomplishment of this para-military operation, designed to end historical Pakistan and to see its reduction to a southern province of a greater U.S. controlled Kafiristan consisting of the former Afghanistan and now what will be a former Pakistan.
The scenario can be observed as having Three Acts.
The First Act has been the establishment of Bhutto as the heroine of a future democracy bent on forcing the militarist to yield to its political inevitability. To this end it was (regrettably!) necessary to bomb her rally, thus assuring her distance from the dreaded Islamists. The cost, over a hundred of her supporters, the now usual collateral damage democracy expects.
The Second Act, the brilliant core of the scheme, was the notorious "˜State of Emergency' in one moment imprisoning all Bhutto's rival political leaders, and most importantly sacking the Chief Justice and rounding up the main body of the Judiciary. With everyone either imprisoned, vanished, or at least under house arrest, only Bhutto is left at peace to be in daily contact with the dictator. Qadi Hussein Ahmad, on the other hand, brutally silenced. It is in the interval before the Third Act that the whole bloody theatrical scene can be recognised.
The key concepts have been the following:
1] Create an utterly anti-democratic and indeed fascistic situation with the military dictator crushing the political process.
2] Introduce the chosen "˜political' hero of democracy. She must appear militant and in opposition to "˜dictatorship'. Media are briefed continually to ask her if she is afraid that she will be killed. Her mantra becomes "“ on Sky, on CNN, on BBC, on Jazeera "“ "˜I am not afraid to be killed! I know this is what they want! I do this for Pakistan and Democracy!'
3] The new call from the U.S.A. is then the return to democratic elections. Suddenly the dictator announces he will shed his uniform and hold elections, only a month later than before. This had been the request of the British boy Foreign Secretary and the U.S. girl Secretary of State.
As prelude to Act Three, Bhutto makes her "˜Democracy march' but is "detained" at home. The march goes on under police protection. The U.S. President calls for her release. No mention of Qadi Hussein Ahmad. No mention of Imran Khan.
4] And "“ here is the success of the project so far "“ absolutely no reference to the imprisoned Supreme Court and no outcry at the sacking of the Head Judiciary.
The Judiciary would restore democracy.
Bhutto's rôle is to restore a dictator who will only have to change his trousers.
What is at issue is not and never was democracy. That was overthrown in a terrible silence from Blair's iniquitous Britain and Bush's expansionist U.S.A. on the days of the first Coup.
Now, the Muslim state of Pakistan founded in 1947 stands to be obliterated in 2007.
This becomes a world concern for the whole Muslim polity.
This will be either the end of Musharraf/Bhutto or it will be the end of Pakistan.
Justice must be restored.
