You have to laugh.
'There is a buzz of excitement in the wood-panelled assembly hall of Pakistan's parliament.
After eight years of military rule, the new legislators feel empowered by an enormous popular mandate.
And they are ready to tackle unpopular policies, especially Pakistan's participation in what is called the War on Terror.'
Whats that old saying? 'You might not be interested in war. But war is interested in you'. Still got a bunch of Al-Qaeda and Taliban and Uzbek maniacs running around your rural areas? Then you don't get to unilaterally volunteer to not be involved any more, morons. Do you think Musharraf was helping out the US because he likes the look of George W, or has some property in Florida? Its because he didn't want Islamabad nuked. Wake up and smell the coffee.
'We've gone through enough problems because of following different agendas of different countries - we need to follow our own agenda," said one parliamentarian from the governing coalition, speaking to a crush of reporters outside.
"Pakistan must get out of America's fatal embrace," said another.'
Have a go. If you think your pisspot country is going to walk away while hosting America's most determined and skilled enemies, I have some sobering news for you.
