Dems Should Hire Benazir Bhutto's Writer

Benazir Bhutto had some tough words for Pervez Musharaff after he declared a state of emergency today in Pakistan.

“The extremists need a dictatorship, and dictatorship needs extremists.”

The Democrats in the United States should be so plain spoken.

Although the Bush administration can't be thought of as a dictatorship (at least not yet), they have the same kind of symbiotic relationship with al-Qaida as the Musharaff regime in Pakistan. Just as al-Qaida needs the war crimes of the Bush administration to justify its continued existence, the Bush administration needs al-Qaida and "Islamo-fascism" to justify its abuse of the Constitution and law in the United States.

The Bush administration needs global terrorism just as much as global terrorism needs the Bush administration.
