Sad news from Pakistan...

This article covers the murder via bullets and suicide bomb of Bhutto, one of the top contenders in the upcoming election. Apparently, they had requested increased security for her but the government (Musharraf ignored the request).

I'm sure everyone will hear about this on the news. It is especially sad because the US Government is condemming the violent attack, etc. - even though they took their time commenting/taking action when Musharraf first declared a state of emergency in Pakistan. Even now, the US government's only "reason" to be concerned is that our al-Qaida friends might be hiding in northern Pakistan. At least, it's a good opportunity for the Bush administration to remind us that they are still out there and we are still in danger.

sigh.
