If Musharraf can spend Millions on his own security, could he not spend some amount on the security of Bhutto. Pakistan is sick Country. Darling of East and West is gone. Light and mind has gone out of Pakistan.  &quot;I knew her personally, She was, as you know, glamorous, beautiful, smart,&quot; he said. &quot;Her loss is a setback. But you have to face what is. Sick animals like Pervez and Zia are responsible for her death.
Pakistan is also a country that, as a harbor for both Islamic extremism and nuclear arms knowhow, today more than ever poses one of the most dangerous threats to America and the West. Washington’s strategy for stabilizing Pakistan had depended in great part on Bhutto, the exiled former prime minister whose pleas for democracy were once ignored by the Bush administration, but who in recent months was seen as a key to legitimizing the presidency of autocrat Pervez Musharraf by forming a political coalition with him. Bhutto was considering the idea, but she had grown increasingly leery of Musharraf, accusing him in recent weeks of failing to stop the spread of Islamic militancy. Now all those hopes, light and mind are gone Pakistan has moved 20 years behind the modern world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pakistan is an artificial state, as are most states in the Middle East and environs. None the less, it is here and has to be dealt with as a sovereign state. Musharraf&#039;s base of support consists of Muslims descended from those who left India following the partition of 1947. Bhutto&#039;s support rested in Sindh, now the hinterland of Karachi. We have little reason to believe democracy would bring stability but the alternative is loaded with risks. It would be wise to wait and watch until the dust settles.]]></description>
