Is Pakistan's state of emergency really a state of emergency?

The nuclear, US supported state of Pakistan has once again erupted into turmoil as the Pakistani President and Military ruler Pervez Musharraf Declared a state of emergency. With the state of emergency, normal Pakistani citizens have literally no rights and the Pakistani Supreme court, the one that was supposed to rule if Mr Musharraf can still be president, was disbanded. Mr. Musharraf appears to be going over his own head as he has very little public support.

The Military ruler recently granted former exiled Prime Minister Bhutto to be allowed back to the country to form a "coalition government" many Pakistanis say the leader is just desperate to stay in power. The outcome of that should play out in the upcoming future.
