Benazir Bhutto lo escribió un mes y medio antes de morir asesinada:
"The United States can promote democracy — which is the only way to truly contain extremism and terrorism — by telling General Musharraf that it does not accept martial law, and that it expects him to conduct free, fair, impartial and internationally monitored elections within 60 days under a reconstituted election commission. He should be given that choice: democracy or dictatorship with isolation".
No se ha hecho. Como tantas veces, la justificación de la guerra contra el terror ha mantenido a un dictador en el poder.
Ni se ha ganado esa guerra ni la democracia ha ganado.
