Pakistan under emergancy rule
Pakistan’s president dictator Pervez Musharraf has declared emergency rule and suspended the country’s constitution. Pakistan’s Supreme Court was about to rule on the legality of General/president dictator Musharraf’s recent election victory. The court was to decide whether General/president dictator Musharraf was even eligible to run for re-election while remaining the army chief.
Evidently things weren’t looking too good for president dictator Musharraf.
Chief Justice Chaudhry and eight other judges refused to endorse the emergency order, declaring it unconstitutional. President dictator Musharraf responded by dismissing Chief Justice Chaudhry and replacing him with Supreme Court judge Abdul Hameed Dogar, one of president dictator Musharraf’s supporters.

In response to Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf’s declaration of martial law and illegal dismissal of a Pakistani Supreme Court Justice, I am encouraging all bloggers out there who want true democratic rule for Pakistan’s 165 million people to unite in opposition. From now on, I am asking bloggers to consistantly refer to Musharraf as "Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf" consistantly linking back to a post I made explaining this idea in greater detail. The post allows threaded comments, so that those opposed to Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf can start discussing ways that we can organize and unite in opposition to his dictatorial actions. My hope is that a consistant message of opposition to martial law and support for democracy in Pakistan can help to influence the media away from legitimizing the Musharraf regime by referring to him as a President. By definition, he cannot be a President if he refuses the right for his government’s Supreme Court to decide whether his running for office is legal or not. Please drop by the post, leave a comment as to what ideas you have on how we can best unite in opposition to martial law, and please do consider using the phrase "Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf", linking back to the post. Thank you, Mark Kraft
I’m sure this will all end well. That area of the world is pretty level-headed when it comes to conflict and crises.
