And Musharraf is known so well for always following through what he says several weeks and months later . .
Posted by idiosynchronic at February 21, 2008 06:10 PMAmerican foreign policy has been clear for quite some time: back authoritarianism when the dictator supports us and our "interests", and demand "democracy" and regime change when the dictator doesn't.
So we prefer "our" strongman Musharraf to whatever a moderate, functioning democracy kicks out.
We don't really support the "spread" of democracy and never have. Simple.
