Fool's democracy in Pakistan
Pervez's perverted democrazy run by RiffRaffs and Mushheads

The general's call for referendum is another blow to pakistan's fragile moribund shadow democracy now waiting to die. The generals have been fooling the world and the people of pakistan with phrases like "genuine democracy, real democracy, basic democracy and controlled democracy." The general is not interested in establishing a democratic political system in pakistan that will survive his own pettiness and power hunger. Instead, he is building a system that is centered around him rather than an idea, that is democracy and should outlast him. When a petty military officer rises to the rank of a general and grabs power with the collusion of his colleagues, self-preservation and self-perpetuation are the only reasons for the call for a referendum.

Cohen doesn't see much in the way of progress in the political system in pakistan that will be nurtured by this referendum
