Mushraff’s democracy

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

President Mushraff adequately displayed his understanding of democracy when in an international interview he said ,` “The problem with the West and your media is your obsession with democracy, civil liberties, human rights.” Who has built democratic institutions in Pakistan? I have done it in the last eight years. We empowered the people and the women of Pakistan. We allowed freedom of expression”

Please note the semantics.. . “I have done it.. ” “Allowed freedom ….”

Political Science 101 perhaps Mr. President ? It should tell you what government by the people, from the people and for the people is and why it cannot be “allowed” or “done” by one man.
