...that military rule for 28 of the country's 55 years of existence has kept the other democratic institutions, such as the parliament and the judiciary, from maturing. Musharraf shares this mind-set, displaying a self-serving indifference to democratic niceties, while also portraying himself grandiosely as the shepherd of "real democracy." In a speech to the National Press Club in Washington last February, he declared, "I am more democratic than any government [that] ever existed in Pakistan." He claims to see nothing wrong with one man's rewriting the rules of democracy and appropriating a prerogative that formerly belonged...

...dealing with people of significant competence--lawyers, judges, doctors. But the one thing that I had was that I was a priest, and therefore I had credibility. They trusted me with some of the great secrets of their lives. They trusted me with their kids. They trusted me to shepherd them in their faith.

...Iraqi woman who befriends an Iranian soldier and is beheaded by her outraged father. But the film doesn't blame only the Iraqis. Two Iranian fathers beat their daughters, one because she didn't tell him she was taking pre-med courses, the other because she chatted with a shepherd. Both women set themselves on fire in protest and despair. Sometimes all the oppressed can do is laugh. In the initially slapstick, then tragic Iranian film Songs of My Mother's Homeland, Kurds pour across the Iran border from Iraq. It's chaos for all concerned - except a peddler whose...
