She said the following when describing politics in Pakistan, "At this stage, we are in a state in Pakistan where so-called democratic forces are only interested in coming into office. So ultimately, they only prop up dictatorships," she told CNN from her home in Karachi.

I find it odd that it had a tinge of Americanism in it. We the "so-called democratic forces" come into their country to "prop up dictatorships". However she was attacking Musharraf and if you think about it, the Americans were the one who set up Musharraf to take control of Pakistan. She wasn't attacking the U.S. who was trying to "prop up" her late aunt's bid for the rule of Pakistan. Funny how the views are the same on opposite sides of the government. Meddling in some other country's always evokes a lot of anger from the citizens of that country, but what do we care. She also wants to end dynasty rule in Pakistan and here we are trying to set up a dynasty rule with Clinton running for a third term.
