WELL, WELL, WELL... MUSHARRAF HAS TWO SETS OF ENEMIES: JIHADISTS AND LAWYERS.Lawyers and their supporters chanted slogans in opposition to Pakistan's president, Pervez Musharraf, for his treatment of the judicial system. They were marching to the home of the former Supreme Court chief justice Mohammed Iftikhar Chaudhry, who is under house arrest in the capital, Islamabad.
TWO AWFUL GROUPS. EVEN SHAKESPEARE KNEW THIS: King Henry VI, Part II, Act IV, Scene II - LINE #59:
DICK
The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.
- SERIOUSLY: WE MUSTN'T ABANDON MUSHARRAF THE WAY JIMMY CARTER ABANDONED THE SHAH, AND THE WAY THE DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED CONGRESS ABANDONED SOUTH VIETNAM IN 1975 - (TWO YEARS AFTER THE LAST US COMBAT TROOPS HAD LEFT).
- AND KEEP IN MIND THAT MUSHARRAF'S ANTAGONISTIC RIVALS - BHUTTO AND SHARIF - ARE MUCH CLOSER TO THE TALIBAN AND AL QAEDA THAN HE IS.
