... that's a reference to my eight year old whose one little hand held device has more technology in it then did Sputnik - and I mean that literally. Great Christmas though!
As I'm sure you all have heard the former Pakistani PM Bhutto (sp?) was assassinated today. In brief the West has been pressuring Musharraf to lay down the military title (which he did) and inch ever closer to having a democratic election which would undoubtedly pit him against the former (and now deceased) Madam Prime Minister. We will see what happens now. I know this - I'd rather have the quasi-democratic western friendly Musharraf at the helm rather then risk a coup over a weakened, even though democratically elected, prime minister. Because the coup conspirators would inevitably be Islamic radicals, and given Pakistan is the only Arab (and for now Persian) nation with a nuclear arsenal, you can see why one would see it that way.
More later ...
