Certainly, a blind eye turned towards a so-called martyr by the military could well be a possibility. That way, they can find someone retarded enough to kill themselves for non-existent virgins - and get rid of their main political threat.
Damn! There goes that theory then! :grump:
I know what you mean though. Al Qaida certainly does not exist as a terrorist organisation. Not now anyway.
What I find even more difficult to believe is that the Taliban might be to blame, as Pakistan claims. If there is one thing that can be said of the Taliban is that their only concern has been control of Afghanistan. They have never a shit about anywhere else, nor have the means, personnel or infrastructure to do anything about it.
The Pakistani government's response to the assassination reads as if it was written by one of the Chimp's advisors in Washington. Oh wait...
Certainly does suit the Taliban - Bhutto was going to allow hot pursuit across the border, whilst currently we have to stop as soon as we reach Pakistan. And given how porus the border is, its naive not to think that taliban forces don't have bases in Pakistan as well
US Government will be well pissed off - much better to have a democratic leader as an ally than a military one. They were the one's pushing the current regime to call elections
An insurgency does obviously exist within Pakistan, and does gain from increased instability - certainly seems Okham's shaving tool applies here to me.
is it me or is 19 years old a bit young to be running for PM of the country?!

But he didn't get the chance to rule until he was 16. He was under Protectorate until he reached his Majority. Well, that's what I can remember from my A-Level history anyway.
Yeah, but that is so NOT the case for the 21st century. They became kings because of 'divine right to rule' etc
:yes: there is a big difference from those old days when boys were joining, fighting and dying in the army before they were even 12.
it just seems like spelling disaster, okay so he'll have plenty of advisor's but PM at 19 just doesn't seem right...
