#1 Isn't it about time for some disgruntled "splinter group" to park a truck bomb outside the Binori mosque and gave it a taste of "Oklahoma City" style hospitality? These sick f&%ks will continue to churn out death brigades until Perv gets capped and then we'll face the possibility a nuclear armed Islamic state. If Perv lacks the nerve to shut down these murder machines, then it's time for covert operations. These morons have essentially declared war upon America, shouldn't we give them their wish?

I'm hoping that America still has contingency plans in place for appropriating Pakistan's nuclear weapons in the event of Perv's overthrow.

#2 If Musharraf is killed, he will just be replaced by some other mustachioed, 'moderate' General with a firm grasp of English and an overinflated sense of what Pakistan's role on the region should be.

And if that General is assasinated, he will be succeded by another, and so on. One thing that Pakistan has a lot of is Generals. Even the so-called Islamist Generals (who were the ones that brought Musharraf to power in the first place) are far too concerned with maintaining their feudal lord lifestyles to bother with any nuclear holocaust, as Qazi said the other day, it's all just talk.

Trouble will come only when the number of Generals in Pakistan exceeds the amount of land that can be appropriated for them when they retire, and the number of industries that will be given to them to run. Then there will be some serious unpleasantness, with the Islamists likely playing some sort of role.

#3 If Iran considered the Binori Town Mosque a serious threat, it would have been gone a long time ago, sitting as it does in the middle of the Shia portion of Karachi. Anyone arguing for complicity between Shia terrorists and Sunni terrorists can't point to a better example, the fact that the Shia haven't flattened the place yet. The enemy of my enemy...
