I believe in the inherent murderous corruption of the wealthy. Especially if they've been exiled for corruption in the past.

I really wouldn't be surprised if she set it up, regardless of the loss in life. What is better for PR than a terrorist bombing? In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if quite a few of these types of attacks on people who have benefited were staged.

Ouch. Just. Ouch.

Pakistan isn't a pleasant place to be walking around in, that's for sure.

I prefer the KISS method myself. There's a lot of groups wanting her to be blown to bits, she doesn't really need to stage one just for the PR anyway. Besides, it could backfire, scaring away her supporters in fear of their lives instead of rallying them around her.

I guess it all boils down to who, or what faction stands to gain the most from such an attack. The fundamentalists will never be satisfied with a woman in charge, while President Musharraf probably would not like to share power with someone so opposed to his dictatorship. I propose that the assasination attempt, if that is what it was meant to be, was a cooperative venture between both these factions. (It is my belief that Musharraf is double-dealing the United States in any case-playing both sides against the middle.)

What a conumdrum-a true Gotterdamerung of Islamic making.
