The Justification of Martial Law

The news is just getting scary. Why are Americans supporting martial law in Pakistan? Why does this Musharraf get American support to have an election in February? Does anybody know how much can be done or undone or caused in 3 months? And that can be good or bad, but 3 months is a lot of time for someone to be unaccountable to the people of his country, while another country supports him. I hate the fact that I am about to say this, but a free election is no indication that the nation will have freedom. We all saw what a great influence America had in the Palestinian elections, eh? In that election Hamas got promoted from terrorist organization to political party. Now the whole world has to deal with Hamas as a political party to be reckoned with. Now, I'm going to use America for the example, because I live here. We have free elections, we do not have martial law, and we defend freedom at gun point and keep it under lock and key . . . So, if we have such freedom, why are so many Americans afraid of the IRS? Why are so many Americans afraid of law enforcement officers? Why are so many Americans afraid to say what they really think on their cell phones and cordless phones? Why are so many Americans afraid of their governnment? Why are so many Americans living in so much fear when we have free elections? And when Americans live in this much fear, why do we feel the rest of the world should be living like we do? What are we afraid of? Are we afraid of losing our stuff? Are many Americans truly secure or afraid that the war on terror, Homeland Security, and FEMA will step in, if "determined" necessary with the same method that our government is now supporting Musharraf? It's already been demonstrated in New Orleans, at the request of the mayor with much bi-partisan blind support. So, when and if it happens here, will the explanation be: that it's to protect us from another attack or potential anarchy? This situation in Pakistan is certainly garnering American support regarding martial law, as the lesser of two evils.
It's probably only a matter of time until the preachers are quoting Romans 13:1 as the sheeple are led to submit to their "ruling authorities."
