Greetings.

In response to Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf's <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071103/ts_nm/pakistan_emergency_dc_9;_ylt=AkHgPGRcyeP9rARMFRLKB0sE1vAI">declaration of martial law</a> and illegal dismissal of a Pakistani Supreme Court Justice, I am encouraging all bloggers out there who want true democratic rule for Pakistan's 165 million people to unite in opposition.

From now on, I am asking bloggers to consistantly refer to Musharraf as "<a href="http://insomnia.livejournal.com/771171.html">Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf</a>" consistantly linking back to a post I made explaining this idea in greater detail.

The post allows threaded comments, so that those opposed to Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf can start discussing ways that we can organize and unite in opposition to his dictatorial actions.

My hope is that a consistant message of opposition to martial law and support for democracy in Pakistan can help to influence the media away from legitimizing the Musharraf regime by referring to him as a President. By definition, he cannot be a President if he refuses the right for his government's Supreme Court to decide whether his running for office is legal or not.

Please drop by the post, leave a comment as to what ideas you have on how we can best unite in opposition to martial law, and please do consider using the phrase "Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf", linking back to the post.

Thank you,
Mark Kraft

General Musharraf was left with no other option. In my opinion this has happened with tacit approval of the Bush administration. The judges of the Supreme Court overestimated their power. Had they taken a middle course they would have done a lot towards giving relief to common men. It is unfortunate that the Lal Masjid terrorists were released simply because the judges were against Pervez Musharraf. Nothing can justify the release of Lal Masjid terrorists.

I support Mr. Musharraf in what he is doing. Pakistani sociey is not yet ripe for democracy. Instead of taking small steps towards democratic rule, people want to take giant leap which is impossible.
