ISLAMABAD: Facebook, Youtube and Wikipedia are three of the most visited websites not only worldwide but in Pakistan too. Now that the former two have been blocked and the latter one was semi-blocked, can we say we are living in a democratic country? I’m afraid we don’t. I’d prefer Musharraf’s benign dictatorship to this shameful democracy.
