There are some scary things that are happening. King Musharaff is loosing it and it is not a benign madness but there are signs of a psycho pathology. This Sunday when King Musharaff faced the media he did something that sent shivers. He openly said that the foreign media should be given priority over the "bloody civilians" that had come to question the general. The General spoke in English. He seemed to give more preference to his western donors than the local tax payers. This can only mean thing that the brutality that the public, media and the judiciary is being subjected to is just the tip of the ice berg. There is more to come.
There is even more to the madness that meets the eye. Here is the excerpt from this latest interview. I think I am pretty good at speaking Martian but the meaning was totally lost to me. Read on.
"I do feel let down when people don't understand. But let me say, I feel more let down, not by the governments because I know how they feel, I have spoken to so many world leaders, so many world leaders have rung me up. So you don't know what they have told me, ok?
Now, I am disappointed and let down by the media. Let me put it very bluntly. It is the media which is creating negative vibes on the terrorist front because how you report what you do, encourages, makes heroes of terrorists and lets down those who are fighting against terrorists. I'm talking of the Western media as well as parts of Pakistani media. You distort sometimes without knowing, maybe it is unintentional, in many cases, several cases that I know there are people who intentionally distort to let down somebody. There is, in Pakistan at least, there is a political element involved. So therefore my disappointment and dismay is that we may ultimately lose this battle against terrorism because of the way the media projects the counter-terrorism war. That is my inner feeling."
Post a comment if you understand what is happening. This was said by a man who commands 620,000 armed men and has the dangerous privilege to command nuclear weapons. Can this man really be trusted with all this power when clearly he is loosing not only control over the northern areas of Pakistan but there is good reason to doubt that he is loosing control over his own sense. The woman who was interviewing him asked him a question on Sunday. He asked her if she was there or not.
He also said that he had asked a lot of people and they had confirmed that the emergency was the way. He clarified that these were not the "yes men" but people who say their mind. Here is another sign that the general is loosing it. He cannot tell the difference between yes men and people who say their mind. If the general was in his sense he would have known that there are a million voices that are asking him to get out. Can he hear them? Are the voices in his head getting louder? What are they going to tell him next? How scared are you?
