Benazir Bhutto assassinated...

The best story I read in a news magazine this year, and -- given today's development -- the first few paragraphs are chilling:

Ugh. Nothing good comes from this.

 

So, over under on when we find out nukes are missing?

 

Don't you need an accurate count before you can know some are missing?

 

A couple of things come to mind. Will Musharraf hold the general election on January 8 and will the Pakistan People's Party be able to come up with a plausible leader before then?

 

Is it ever going to end? Ever?

 

What a disaster. There's no one to oppose Musharraf now.

 

This is a rhetorical question, right?

 

It's a question of sigh.

 

Is there any question that Musharraf is ultimately behind this? He can now cancel upcoming elections in the name of "national mourning" or something like, and use the search for Bhutto's killers to purge the radical elements that want him gone. He has just set himself up to be the dictator for life.
