Thanks for an excellent read, though I have almost no prior knowledge of Pakistani politics. I think that you're so able to point out the comparability between Pakistan and the US helps capture the depths that we're reaching under the current regime.
i'm glad you enjoyed it, though my point was more broadly that this is how governments work generally than to note our own decay. People really struggle to conceptualize what it would be like if they were from another country and a normal person who believed in their government, at least about the things they considered the most important.
I fail to understand why we seem to support people who lack any legitimacy. In the long run this is a loosing strategy, because the more we support governments in other countries that are not supported by the people, the more bad "karma" we will have in the future.
It is often shortsighted but usually there is something or another they care about more. This may prove a bit beyond the limits of even US hypocrisy though.
