We are playing a VERY dangerous game in Pakistan right now. I am leery to make predictions, but I believe that we will continue to support Musharraf as long as he is able to keep the radical elements "at bay." There is a vested interest here, the major one being the security of Afghanistan and the keeping the Taliban out.

It is sad that she had to die in such a manner, perhaps her death will rally people enough to reclaim their country. Either way, RIP.
