WASHINGTON — Despite assurances to the Bush administration that it will allow unrestricted international monitoring of crucial Feb. 18 elections, Pakistan is refusing to permit observers to conduct exit polls, an important method of detecting fraud.

The United States and other powers see a fair vote in Pakistan as a chance to stabilize the country, which has been under eight years of army rule and is racked by an al Qaida-backed Islamic insurgency, ethnic tensions and a political crisis fueled by the Dec. 27 assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

We give money to him because we think he's fighting "extremists." He's probably building a mansion and spending it on cheap whores like a normal man. Of course there's going to be vote fraud - why would Musharraf give up his power and free US money when he's capable of swaying the election in his favor?

We keep propping him up because we may need a new enemy one day, just like we did with the Shah of Iran, Saddam Hussein, and Osama Bin Laden.

Through the years, most of our "enemies" have gotten their initial funding from us.

The USSR would have collapsed in the 60s or earlier if we hadn't kept selling them technology and sending them wheat.

Today we're arming countries around the world, and odds are great that one day those weapons will be used to kill Americans, soldiers or civilians.
