Today I was going to write more about the situation in Pakistan, and George W. Bush's willingness to overlook Musharraf's human rights violations and safe-harboring of al-Qaeda.
In Bush's world, Musharraf may be a ruthless dictator, but he's our ruthless dictator. So we pat him on the head and look the other way.
Kind of like the ill-behaved little bully who terrorizes the neighborhood (world) while his parents just shake their heads, and maybe smirk, and say, "Boys will be boys."
But today I can end my own rant here and let Mark Fiore do the rest of the talking. Fiore is one of my favorite political cartoonists, and his latest short animation takes a humorous-yet-astute look at the dysfunctional codependent relationship between Bush and Musharraf.
Check it out: That Darn Dictator!
