Envoy Warns Musharraf

In the news this morning it is being reported that a senior U.S. envoy who said Pakistan's democratic process had been "derailed" carried a stern warning Friday to President Gen. Pervez Musharraf from the Bush administration to end emergency rule. In an apparent move to blunt criticism from Musharraf's key foreign backer, authorities freed opposition leaders including Benazir Bhutto as well as a U.N. human rights expert and let two independent news channels back on air.

There continues to be a great deal of worries concerning the emergency rule and what if anything can be done to get their democracy back on track. May the weekend bring a respite to both sides, and allow Musharraf and Bhutto time to think this through and understand that they must work together or their nation may fall apart, and that would only be good for their enemies and ours.
