The parallel to Turkey is interesting how the military is actually "liberal" but when its sovereignty is threatened, as it was in Turkey and potentially in Pakistan, action needed to be taken. The same can be said in Russia, Venezuela, and Bolivia. Just these three countries seem to be malevolent as opposed to Pakistan and Turkey, even though Pakistan discreetly sold nuclear technology to threatening countries.
The main point is that Pakistan and Turkey are friends of the US and we should treat them as such and not get involved. This is not Tianemen Square nor is it a Myanmar style bloodshed.
The book "American Theocracy" touches on the fact that our politics aren't based on facts anymore but what is right and what is wrong based on morality. This is getting to be dangerous if we are to rationally deal with our friends and take action against our enemies.
Usually when these type of scare mongering occurs oil and gold go DOWN not up. Because the run up was last week which factored in this event. And the military coup isn't really a coup since Musharraf is already the leader of the army and keeps the Pakistan economy stable and where people respect the rule of law.
Now if oil and gold do go up then look out, since even more bedlam will be factored in.
