Drama around Democracy

Yesterday I was reading an article, at rediff.com, on the Myanmar crisis. US has come up with sanctions against Myanmar officials and have 'urged' India and China to help the pro-democracy sections of Myanmar.
This reminds me of another piece of new from fews back, another situation but entirely different reaction/views from US. The incidence I'm referring to is the Lal Masjid standoff in Pakistan. The statment from US was : Lal Masjid action is an 'internal matter' of Pakistan.
US, who have appointed itself the sole defender of democracy throughout the world, is very conveniently ignoring the non-existence of democracy in Pakistan since 1999 (because Pakistan is a 'Key Alley in their, self declared, war against terrorism).
What ever is happening in Pakistan is a mockery of democracy. Rule and being bent, laws amended and Musharraf has not left a single stone unturned to ensure prolonging his presidency. I'm sure he's getting all the help he needs, from USA and he will manage to cling on to power this time as well.
I still hope US will realize that they are putting money on the wrong horse, but it then we can only wait and watch the drama.
Speaking of drama....around all of this news and happenings, Mr. Nawaz Shareef managaed to make a very brief trip to Pakistan, which can easily be described in 3 sentences:
He Came....He waved...He went (was sent) back.
