Major league douchebag Jug Suraiya in today's Times of India:
It is widely acknowledged that the best antidote to Pakistan's life-threatening malignancies is a health-restoring infusion of democracy.
Right. Because their current democratically elected government is handling things so well. And going back, didn't they have a democratic government when Kargil happened? And wasn't it a democratic government that created the Taliban? But no, all their problems are due to a lack of democracy. Perish the thought that there might be a deeper cause, such as inherent culture. If they only had democracy, all would be well. Never mind that the facts completely discredit the argument. It's a part of left-liberal ideology, so it must be true.
As much as Suraiya would like the comparison, this kind of thinking is actually reminiscent of Bush. Like Bush, this idiot reasons on the basis of ideology, not facts. Which is why he fits so well at the Times of India, I suppose.
