Islamofascistan?

The upheaval in Pakistan is now in its third day and the country doesn't look like a beacon of nascent democracy in the middle east. What to do if you are on the Bush foreign policy team and have spent so much time propping up the Musharraf regime as a bulwark against terrorism in the region. There hasn't been much tough talk coming from Dr. Rice or The Decider in the past few days. What can you say when that ally is emulating the very catch phrase we are supposedly trying to defeat in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq(n)? There hasn't even been a strong commitment to cut the billions of dollars of aid we provide.

Yes I mean Islamofascism. That phony-ass term created by neocon's to conflate Iraq with the terrorism of 9/11. The same evil following that is brewing trouble in Iran and leading us to the precipice of WWIII (The Decider would have me insert a LOL here but, I digress). If this ideology does exist then it looks like the makings of it are available in the current mix in Islamabad. Let's see there's an Islamic republic,let's not forget they have a nuclear capability, led by a General that took power by military coup. Now that general has suspended the constitution , jailed dissidents of all political stripes, closed down independent media outlets and declared martial law. All this in order to cling to power and claim it's necessary to fight Islamic extremism in the country.

Isn't the system blinking red? Where is Joe Lieberman and the Freedom's Watch gang? Is Pakistan today an eerie parallel of what could happen in the name of fighting terrorism here? Unfortunately most American's are probably watching the news to see when the screen writers strike will be over.
