Pakistan Should be Able to Use Any Means Necessary to Defend Themselves Against Islamic Rule

Recently hundreds of Islamic militants seized a town in northwest Pakistan. Out-numbered security forces lay down their weapons as black and white flags were hoisted up at thee captured posts.
I think it's a good idea people aren't to quick to judge President Musharraf's recent actions
although extreme.

He ousted independent-minded judges, put a stranglehold on the media and granted sweeping powers to authorities to crush dissent. Thousands of people have been rounded up and thrown in jail since then

A "stranglehold" on the media? Consider that according to Reuters the area has seen a surge in militant activity ever since a pro-taliban cleric launched a radio station to call on a holy muslim war.
Sounds like they were on the verge of having a strangle hold on him. Last I heard freedom of speech doesn't give you the right to insight violence.
Just Imagine if we were attacked on U.S. Soil and military positions were captured by our enemy?
How would you feel as president? The war in Pakistan is now being fought on two fronts.
One being against the foreign fighters and suicide bombers that have killed thousands, and two, against the crazed Islamic Fundamentalist ideology that has take root within the countries population. The question for any president now becomes: how do you protect the constitution from those trying to destroy it. And in the words of Justice Robert Jackson "The Constitution isn't a suicide pact."

The Mujahideen in Swat (Pakistan) have control
October 31, 2007

The Jihaad in Pakistan has already begun and is taking form. All the Muslims, especially the Pakistani Muslims in the West should be supportive of the Mujaahideen. They are fighting for Allah’s Cause whereas the NaPak Army is fighting for the Taaghooti Cause. Already the Mujaahideen have control over some areas, establishing the Shari’ah, and kicking out the Murtadeen. Out of all the Jihaad’s today, this has to be the most successful Jihaad in the shortest rate of time, wallahu ‘Alam. Of course, it’s not fully formed yet nor completed, but the mere fact that after the Lal Masjid siege, the Mujaahideen took up arms against the Murtadeen Army, kicked them out of certain cities and established the law of Allah ‘Azza wa Jall (yes, with Islaamic Courts) in just a time span of a few months, this has to be the fastest rate of a successful and fruitful Jihaad. We pray that Allah ‘Azza wa Jall gives more power, ability, strength, and help to these noble brothers who are a mix of not only Pakistani’s, but you’ll find Muslims from Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Sheeshaan, Turkey, Africa and many Arab Countries involved in this Jihaad.

Fazlullah’s spokesman said that the local Taliban had a complete hold on Kanju, Bara Bandai (recently named as Islam Bandai), Koza Bandai (named as Shariat Bandai), Sangota, Shakardarra, Pir Kalay, Charbagh and Sambat. “In these areas, we have established check-posts manned by local Taliban,” he said.

“We have simple demands: withdrawal of security forces from Swat and enforcement of Sharia in the region.” He maintained that the powerful military of Pakistan could dismantle their recently established rule in parts of the region but it would lead the country to an Afghanistan-like situation as they would wage a guerrilla war against the security forces.
