Okay, so I'm often aware of the fact that I appear to be a minority....but what's great is I find myself many times surrounded by my fellow minorities (we're talking in thought not in race, age, religion, etc)
I don't know that I can say I agree with the State of Emergency in Pakistan.....of course I wouldn't try to pretend to disagree with it either....for the reason that I am not in charge of Pakistan, nor am I privy to any information those in charge are. I guess that doesn't matter. It also should go to mention the fact I'm even discussing this issue means I'm not quite as A-Political as I desire to be.
But why would anyone really care. I don't think they do. The news has moved on to the latest in domestic issues, the democratic debates went off and now we discuss who the a worst job.
Here's my point. I live in a country where one of the biggest platforms of campaigning to be MY leader is who we will and will not be going to war with next. We say we don't believe in dictatorships....yet we dictate to every other country out there how they should be ran. Hell, WE AREN'T EVEN A TRUE DEMOCRACY!
I have said ages ago and I stand by my thoughts stronger and stronger as the days go by. Christians (and I could argue people of most faiths) are not meant to be involved in politics. We Christians are to be concerened with the widows, the sick, those incarcerated....to love as God loves.Welcome to being a humanitarian rather than a politician. I have felt for A LONG TIME it is not worth getting involved with who is and who is not in charge, because on the grander scale it doesn't matter if you decide human life is more important. I would rather volunteer feeding the hungry than go vote. I feel true change in this country would not be to finally elect someone OTHER than a republican or democrat, rather it would be to fill up the homeless shelters with food and clothing for people.
p.s. I do know the political interested part of me CAN'T STAND B.B., Imran Khan, or Nawaz Sharif.......

Well said Wendy. Though I do not think you are in the minority for expressing your support for the overall performance of Musharraf and for being against BB, NS etc.
Wishing you and your family all the very best in Pakistan,

Agreed, one hundred percent. There's just something very wrong with these openly hypocritical people who continue to believe they can dupe the nation by pulling an innocent face. Sorry, doesn't work anymore!
At least it shouldn't.
