I love US security policy in the Middle East and Asia: just find a subservient dictator, and keep him in power at any cost. After basing its policy in Afghanistan on keeping US puppet Hamid Karzai alive by keeping him in his presidential palace (protected by American bodyguards), the US is now rushing to keep Pakistani dictator Musharraf in power. You see democracy in the Middle East, for the US that is, simply means friendly dictatorships. What is wrong with that?
