Although i aint no bush lover or his policies, but would say that Bush should win. (Just learned that he actually has won)
Reasons
1) Democrat presidents have historically leaned more towards India in comparison to Pakistan.
2) Pakistan's relations with the US have always improved in the time of Republican presidents, right from Einsenhower (Seato/Cento) to Nixon(China Diplomacy) to Reagan (Afghan War) to now Bush Jr. (the so-called war against Terror).
3) Pakistan's relations with the US get strained whenever a Democrat Pres comes into power. Case in point, the whole of the 90s when Mr. Clinton was the pres. He even had the audacity to come to Pakistan only to sermonise us on live TV on the virtues of democracy.
This "war on terror" may or may not be right, but its time we start thinking of ourselves and our own interests rather than of the bloody ummah who always tend to forget us in our hour of need!
Bush may not be too good for the 'ummah', but he sure as hell isnt too bad for Pakistan and to me thats the only thing that matters.
Ya Sheikh ... Apni apni dekh!
