Re: US says president can dismiss parliament if judges restored.
Aalsi, your spin on the news is commendable but hardly honest. You implied that US is tacitly agreeing to Mushy dismissing the Parliament if the Parliament goes ahead with restoring the judges. This is farthest from the truth. The entire hearing in the US Congress, and in fact the overall feeling amongst US lawmakers is that the Parliament should be free to make these decisions and they are wholly skeptical of giving Mushy (or any President) the power to ignore the will of the people, by dismissing the parliament.
I grant that you posted this piece of news in Feb 10th, much before the whole house of cards came down, so you can be excused for still blindly believing that US is the be-all and end-all of Pakistani political scene.
In fact, when I read the news now, US seems to be distancing itself from Musharraf and has understood that the tide has changed. Masha Allah. Alhamdollilah. And Subhan Allah.
