I don't know how the rest of you feel, but having a 19 year old, naive, inexperienced child succeed Benazir Bhutto makes no sense. Nor does having her husband, who has been widely accused of corruption, as chairman of the party, make any sense to me.
I have a feeling it will be a long time before we know the truth.
The United States has stepped up it's efforts to end the crisis in Pakistan. We need to keep the pressure on.
Another smart decision by a politician. However, this time it may be too late.
This is an op-ed by the daughter of Benazir Bhutto's younger brother. It is worth reading.
I can't imagine that this is a surprise to anyone familiar with what is going on in Pakistan. Bhutto has been placed under house arrest for the second time since the turmoil started and now she wants Musharraf to resign.
The situation in Pakistan continues to get worse. Somehow Musharraf must find a way to get Democracy back on track in that important country.
Pakistani police placed opposition leader Benazir Bhutto under House arrest earlier today and then released her from custody this evening. This situation just keeps getting worse every hour.
Police swung batons and fired tear gas at 400 supporters of Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto.
I just listened to Senator Harkin on the floor of the Senate bashing President Bush for not pressing Musharraf on what is going on in Pakistan. Well as usual, Senator Harkin is wrong again. The President is pushing Musharraf as hard as he can to hold elections and restore the Constitution.
Pakistan's deposed chief justice called on lawyers throughout Pakistan to defy police and continue to protest President Pervez Musharraf's imposition of emergency rule.
The situation in Pakistan continues to deteriorate. The Bush Administration has got to be worried about what is going on over there.
This article, written by Stanley Kurtz paints a grim picture of what could happen in Pakistan. Mr. Kurtz thinks that Pakistan faces the real possibility of civil war. Mr. Kurtz's article is a must read for any serious student of this region of the world.
The Washington Times reports on the deepening crisis in Pakistan. The United States has made it clear that they are not happy with President Musharraf's actions in suspending the Constitution. Equally troubling to me what his removal of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and other judges. Can you imagine what would happen in this Country if the President removed our Chief Justice?
President Musharraf of Pakistan has declared a state of emergency and suspended the country's constitution temporarily. The United States has already voiced it's displeasure.
Security forces in Pakistan attacked a stronghold of a pro-Taliban cleric in northwestern Pakistan.
As I was posting this article about Benazir Bhutto's dramatic return to Pakistan, a news bulletin came on announcing that there had been a bombing very near Ms. Bhutto's motorcade. At least 30 people are believed dead, but Ms. Bhutto is safe.
