leaves some egg on the Bush admin's face too I take it, but frankly that's the least of it, at least as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure it's all -they- care about.; December 27, 2007 2:57 PM

This pisses me off to a great degree, the news media seems to have a pervasive belief that everything is too dangerous and not worth any risk. But if the payoff is stablizing an entire nation someone needs to be brave enough to risk assassination or else there isn't any hope for any of us.

As to what will happen, If he hadn't just tried it I would guess that the Pres would try to put the country on lockdown and install himself leader for life, under the excuse that he has to to keep the country from imploding- and that western powers would let him because they are afraid of the country imploding. However he just did that and it didn't work and there is a huge backlash against him. Maybe his time is up? Although who can you replace him with? since people like Bhutto don't grow on trees Interestingly, Motherjones has an article up about how the west is overreacting.

sorry for ranting I am confusing and angry.; December 27, 2007 3:17 PM

I think we are all shocked and angry. My greatest concern is Pakistan imploding and some of their tactical warheads get loose. Hopefully we will find out who did this.

so sad
