Emergency
I must say, the fashion for state of emergencies is in these days. Pakistan and then Georgia...who'll be next? I worry about dictators and their desperate need to stay in power. All I can think is, why are you needlessly putting yourself in danger of assasination? I'm figuring that they don't care about the people, don't they want to save their own skin? Or maybe Mushie realises how apathetic a nation Pakistan can be (quite frankly, if I was dirt poor like most of the country, I wouldn't have the time of day to care about what he did as long as i was able to complete each day successfully...so maybe apathy's a bit harsh). And Benazir Bhutto's going to get the country back on the right track...right, the woman who successfully robbed the country blind with the use of her husband, that thug Zardari. Do I feel disenchanted? A tad. Do I seem cynical? Maybe a smidgen. Do I have a solution? Don't I wish. Can someone find a real honest-to-God intelligent and humane and honest cavalcade of people (I can't expect a person to succeed here and group sounds so mild and I can't use politicians because that would be a contradiction of terms) to marginally fix this country up? A bit of emergency triage that's all. Let us all pray (or just hope really really hard if we're not into that prayer thing!).
