Given the views expressed by Gen. Musharraf in his book In The Line of Fire, and the recent discussions on ATP on the whole Abdul Qadeer Khan affair, I thought I woudl share a rather old but still relevant comedy news bit done on this on The Daily Show.
This is before Steven Colbert had his own show and soon after Gen. Musharraf pardonned A.Q. Khan.
Whatever you think about A.Q.Khan, here is one view of how his actions and our reactions to them look to the outside world.
As usual, the folks at The Daily Show say things that only a humourist can. The “He said sorry.” The “Pakistan didn’t sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.” The hypocrisy of “Godfearing nations full of very religious people” (both Western and Muslim?) wanting nuclear weapons (of course, he didn’t, but citizens of Islamic Republics do well to remember the proscription against weapons that have long-term environmental effects)…it goes on and on.
