Assassination Attempts on Musharaff

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/25/in...D-STAN.html?hp

Attempt number two in 11 days. This time with 2 suicide murderers slamming into his motorcade and killing 14 people and wounding and maiming another 46.

This just shortly after Musharaff agreed to give up control of the military shortly because of Islamic fundamentalists that want the country to stop cracking down on terrorists.

At this point it's ridiculous. The country has become nuclear capable, its scientists are exporting nuclear technology to rogue countries like Iran behind the government's back, the youth are herded into madrassah's and have their heads brainwashed with hateful interpretations of the Koran, the mosques blare hate in their speakers.

There has been a shift by rulers and dictators in the region to harness hate and this is exactly what that leads to. Iran and Iraq failed. Syria and Pakistan will fail unless their rulers take incredibly painful steps to "neutralize" those hateful populations as well - something Syria has previous experience with.

I would not be surprised if within the next few years major cities in both India and Pakistan become self-illuminating parking lots when one or both of 'em decide to whip out the nuclear Norbecker and decide to get into a deadly game of 'mine's bigger!'

Watch us park a boomer (Navy slang for a nuclear ballistic missile submarine) off the coast of Pakistan and just clear our throats. "Ahem... we don't care if you nuke each other into oblivion, but we trace a rogue nuke to either one o' youse two you're gonna get it!"
