Say what you will about Musharref - the government hasn't toppled. I think the initial attack when Bhutto returned and now this show that her government (if elected) would have been very tenuous, and probably temporary.
"Even if I have to sell my soul, this country will have security." - Mobutu Sese Seko
The farther we come, the more Musharref reminds me of Mobutu, who was certainly a tyrant, but when he was ousted, the Congo exploded in war. I don't think the world can afford that in Pakistan. Which kind of leaves us with no clear solution there right now. |

I found out about this while channel-flipping this morning. All of the news channels had it as breaking news except *gasp* FOX! Their "breaking news" was that some neighbor had found some photos and a note that had Stacy Peterson's name or something. Great job as always.  |

I said it before and said it again... I haven't checked fark.com yet, but I bet the tag next to the headline is "obvious" (not "sad"). It was not a question of "if", it was a question of "when".
She knew the risks and well... whatcha gonna do. It sucks and it's bad... but I don't think any politician is honest, unselfish, and straight-arrow. They are all EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM are in it for a personal gain - be it monetary or simply to be remembered and not just one of the gray billions of people on this planet.
Well, she made history... shame it had a sad ending but she knew what she was facing and getting into. I know it sounds cold but I really don't feel anything more than sympathy and regret at loss of human lives. The cynic in me wouldn't allow anything more than that. |

it's a set back for the world, actually. Oil already shot up in price today because of this and the stocks are down, so the very economy of your homeland will suffer. But hey - that doesn't affect you either huh? |

it's definitely influencing people here, we have a huge community of pakistanis and it's on the news daily. Either way, with them being such a dangerous and volatile country, who knows what will happen, except it won't be good. |
