Pakistan in the Commonwealth, soon to be (again) a thing of the past?

Harper has proposed to boot Pakistan from the Commonwealth of Nations (53 Countries, mostly former British Colonies), since President Musharraf has declared emergency rule, and continues to lead the country despite being the head of the military (wait, QEII is the De Facto head of the Canadian Military, and the Head of State, and by the powers vested upon her in the constitution, she can have them do her bidding, as can Harper, MacKay, and Jean). Infringing on the Democratic Process is the main concern here, as Harper is worried that Musharraf isn't representing the views of anyone else in the Commonwealth.

This would be the second time Paskistan is booted out, the first was in 1999, and lasted nearly five years.

Congratulations once again goes out to our fearless leader, Stephen Harper, who is once again showing Canada's leadership on the world stage. Perhaps he will also help remove Russia from the G8 if they continue their quasi-Reign of Terror?

Gordon Brown is, however, a little iffy on the whole matter:

"He has assured me that he will do his utmost to lift the state of emergency in time for free and fair elections to be held and to give up his military rule and responsibilities as soon as possible," Brown said.

There is still a chance that Harper's wishes will be carried out, however, the best outcome would be scaring Pakistan into quick realignment with most of the world.
