At the end of the day it is people power that can change any regime anywhere in the world.<BR/><BR/>What we must be careful of is not returning to the old politics that led us to the current regime.<BR/><BR/>http://reformationofbangladesh.blogspot.com/Shah R.

I thought you'd also be interested in a recent blog started by a retired Bangladeshi Ambassador that discusses Bangladeshi politics both on a national as well as a global stage. There's some great commentary on other international issues, such as the recent election season in the US. <BR/><BR/>The URL is http://ambassadorseraj.blogspot.com/. <BR/><BR/>Hope you find it interesting enough to link to your site. I think your readers will be keen on reading Ambassador Islam's insights and commentary.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>SabrinaSabrina Rahmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936396.post-66810478761561227802008-08-18T13:01:00.000-05:002008-08-18T13:01:00.000-05:00With criminal military dictator Musharraf's resignation the message should be loud and clear. It should be even louder since there will be no Bush-Cheney crooked duo to prop up illegitimate illegal unelected undemocratic power-grabbers in South Asia any longer. Under a most likely democratic US presidency in 2009 there will be major shift in US foreign policy. Things wouldn't have changed much if Hillary Clinton had got the democratic nomination. In that case the Bush policy of muscle-flexing and propping up of military dictators and NGOs would have continued.<BR/><BR/>Placing the national ID under the home ministry and establishing a spying cell on politicians under the police even after having a ISI-styled DFI in Bangladesh is taking us back to the Musharraf days just after his overthrow of Nawaz Sharif unconstitutionally.<BR/><BR/>Are we actually backpeddling to the military days? Was this caretaker setup in 2007 a farce to deceive the people? In that case a violent overthrow of totalitarianism reminiscent of 1991is imminent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
