I don't trust that bastard
















David Rohde of the NYT, who has been doing excellent reporting from Pakistan, wonders if President Pervez Musharraf can survive the crisis provoked by the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. Rohde recently reported on a nation-wide poll in Pakistan that showed that 67% of Pakistanis wanted Musharraf to resign, and 70% did not believe his government deserved reelection.
That paragraph is from Juan Cole.

What a mess, huh? It doesn't look good for Musharraf hanging onto power. He's 'our' guy ... One hundred and sixty million people and how many nukes?
