Of dictators and their cronies
2008-05-03 07:16:00
by Huzaima Bukhari & Dr. Ikramul Haq In 1992, The Herald, Karachi, decided to interview the great intellectual of our time, Edward W. Said. The interviewer posed a question to him, “Why we must continue to turn to the Zias of the world….” In 2008, we are still faced with the challenge of undoing the legacy of the Zias of the world, which can now be called “Musharrafs of the world”. In fact the change in nomenclature has no relevance, as the substance remains the same even after 16 years. Professor Said pointed out in his reply that in a world where might is right, the powerful in the global politics ensure the perpetuation of their control through handpicked cronies and lackeys in different countries. This explains why it is so difficulty to undo the legacy of dictators in countries like Pakistan, even after the clear mandate of people, through elections. Those possessing power always strive to dispossess the masses of their rights through cronies. Why do t...
Twilight of the Dictators: A Chance for Pakistan ? and the U.S.
2008-02-20 11:31:00
After years of American enabling and billions in American aid, Pakistan?s Pervez Musharraf, was ? to put it delicately ? trounced in Monday?s parliamentary elections. The results are much better than the United States could hope for, and more than President Bush deserved after overinvesting in the former general and his anti-democratic excesses. The White House has long insisted that there was no choice but to look the other way as Mr. Musharraf jailed journalists and lawyers, dismissed the Supreme Court and declared emergency rule. Islamist extremists, we were told, would win any fair democratic fight. Instead, even with a rigged system, the moderates managed to win. Now the question is whether the Bush administration can take this opportunity and develop a sensible policy that focuses both on building stable democratic institutions in Pakistan and winning popular support for combating Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Even with all that American money ? and the advice of an American pu...

HAVANA (AP) - An ailing, 81-year-old Fidel Castro resigned as Cuba’s president Tuesday after nearly a half-century in power, saying he will not accept a new term when parliament meets Sunday.

Disposing of Unwanted Dictators
2008-02-02 23:59:00
by Tom Chartier with Elizabeth Gyllensvard Friends, is your dictator becoming stale? Is there a fading expiration date stylishly tattooed above the tan line of his Speedos? Are you struggling to find EPA-approved and humane methods of disposal? This is one of the ongoing problems mankind has faced since Grog and his clan got sick and tired of Thog’s pre-emptive wars to snag all the hot Cave Babes. In Cro-Magnon days nobody was too upset when the Grog clan bashed Thog in the head with a rock and dragged his carcass out for the hyenas to pick clean. But that solution just ain’t kosher today. In the 21st century, one must be subtle. So, you got your worn out dictator taking up space in the rumpus room. Surrounded by empty cans of Lone Star beer, your expired dictator keeps trying to place long distance phone calls to disgraced world leaders and the TV is tuned to a 24/7 televangelist 24/7. And to top it all off… you guessed it… he’s not paying rent or even hel...

Four independent candidates affiliated with a political group whose leader has ...
Time Magazine Still Licks The Boots of Dictators
2007-12-24 17:32:00
Time magazine is once again showing itself to be the perpetual sycophant of dictators and thugs worldwide. Granted, being chosen as Time’s Man of The Year is not a carte blanche endorsement of ones beneficent nature. Nevertheless, Time waxes poetic in their perennial boot licking of leftist dictators such as Vladimir Putin. It is true that Russia has been in turmoil adjusting to a post Soviet world but nevertheless Putin has reversed most of what we would normally consider positive trends in Russian society, politics and their economy. There is a Russian blog I read regularly and the sense of oppression by Putin is a palpable presence there. Everyone there knows the elections are a sham. Putin has hand picked his “successor” and will still be the power not so behind the scenes. I will give him credit that he was not as stupid and arrogant as Hugo Chavez in trying to rewrite the countries constitution to allow him to be president forever. But nevertheless he is still going to be t...

Putin Continues to Chip Away At Democracy

Left-wing critics of the Bush Administration love to howl about how the President is rolling back our freedoms and trying to create a “fascist” government. People who are even remotely connected with reality know that’s complete nonsense. However, what’s happening in Putin’s Russia is very real. Vladimir Putin actually is rolling back freedoms.

Obama Promises To Meet With Dictators If Elected
2007-07-24 18:15:00
From Byron York:Sen. Barack Obama?s closest political adviser, David Axelrod, wants you to know that Obama did not say what he appeared to say at Monday night?s Democratic debate here in Charleston. A questioner, speaking via debate sponsor YouTube, asked whether, in the spirit of ?bold leadership,? the candidates would ?meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration?with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea, in order to bridge the gap that divides our countries.? Obama had a ready answer.?I would,? he said without hesitation. ?And the reason is that the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them ? which has been the guiding principle of this administration ? is ridiculous. Ronald Reagan and Democratic presidents like JFK constantly spoke to the Soviet Union at a time when Ronald Reagan called them an evil empire. And the reason is because they understood that we may not trust them and they may pose...

Former Soviet Dissident Warns For EU Dictatorship
2007-06-30 01:38:00
Bukovsky and BelienVladimir Bukovksy, the 63-year old former Soviet dissident, fears that the European Union is on its way to becoming another Soviet Union. In a speech he delivered in Brussels last week Mr Bukovsky called the EU a “monster” that must be destroyed, the sooner the better, before it develops into a fullfledged totalitarian state. Original article on Feb. 27, 2006 Read More… Paul Belien: You were a very famous Soviet dissident and now you are drawing a parallel between the European Union and the Soviet Union. Can you explain this? Vladimir Bukovsky: I am referrring to structures, to certain ideologies being instilled, to the plans, the direction, the inevitable expansion, the obliteration of nations, which was the purpose of the Soviet Union. Most people do not understand this. They do not know it, but we do because we were raised in the Soviet Union where we had to study the Soviet ideology in school and at university. The ultimate purpose of the Soviet Uni...

DEMOCRATIC DICTATORSHIP

Fine examples of ruthless dictators all? and all loonies!Well, so far not yet. But there?s still plenty of time.

Digg : Dictatorship of the Proletariat
2007-03-23 01:20:00
I have mentioned before the inanity of the new Web 2.0 dream of ultimate democracy, divine equality and some kind of leveling of everyone and the rising of all the hidden talent on the planet.Like every single similar utopian idea, it is pure folly. But, it always takes time for this to sink in, and some folks never do get it--like Fidel Castro, the President of Venezuela and the hippies in Harvard Square.What people who espouse this type of leveling egalitarian talk often do is fall into censorship and totalitarianism--stuff like the dictatorship of the proletariat.This week I personally experienced censorship in hyperreality courtesy of the Netroot Revolutionaries.Digg admits having trouble with the Digging Cabals, and to correct it, are no longer publishing the names of the top diggers. But the Digging Networks are still there. However, I was not aware, until today, of the Burying Networks.I am not quite sure why Digg ever implemented the Bury option. The idea is to get rid of...
Web Design for All Dictators

Web design is an art.Finding the right blend of style and usability is a delicate balance that few, if any, fully master.Which is why I am so tired af reading bullet-pointed lists demanding what you should and shouldn't do while building your webpage. These dictators of web design are under the mysterious illusion that they have stumbled upon exactly the right balance of functionality and beauty.Do you think Michelanglo can painted his Sistine Chapel after reading an article entitled, "10 steps to perfect renaissance art"?What these designers are really saying to, "My view of what makes a good webpage is more valid than yours and any opinion to the contrary is doomed to failure".There are wrong ways to design a webpage. Every technique you have ever been told is wrong, can be utilised succesfully in the proper setting. And, equally, every technique you have even been told is right, can be a complete failure in the hands of the inappropriate.Next time you read an article on web desi...

Pakistani dictatorship finally bares its fangs?
2007-03-09 05:24:01
Shameful. Is the Musharraf government headed towards self-destruction? Comment from a veteran Dawn correspondent followed by a news report on Dawn’s case against the Federal government. Comment: Finally after four months, we have started campaign to make people aware of the situation in general. If they continue at this pace PHP (Pakistan Herald Publication) will have to lay off people. (Besides the Government of Pakistan have asked the big corporations not to advertise in Dawn). The ads were stopped by the government in order to coerce Dawn to (a) stop writing about the situation in Baluchistan specially not on the front t page. (b) Stop giving space to the opposition parties specially to PPP and PML (N) etc. and (c) to give the President and the Prime Minister get front page or prominent coverage. We declined to accept any of these demands and told them we would not be intimidated to run the newspaper by Press information Dept. Of course this belies the position stated...
