Waking to the news of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto was distracting. Then the TV pundit fears of a Pakistani civil war, during which the Taliban and extremists of similar ilk not only seize the nukes, but the ballistic missiles to deliver them for at least a thousand or so miles, really took my mind off absent friends, domestic fascism, the morals of insanity, and my Yule hangover. And then I watched the goddamn candidates fumbling to turn the situation to their advantage (in which Hillary had the edge because she actually knew Ms Bhutto) and distraction turned to an actual hollow pit in my stomach because no one – I repeat, no one – in the mainatream was mentioning India, right next to Pakistan, with nukes of its own, with zero warning time, and probably at an alert status close to the Indian equivalent of DEFCON 1. Welcome to the future neighbors.

Yes, Robert Fisk just wrote on Z-Magazine that many in Pakistan think that Musharraf had Bhutto killed, not just that he "failed to protect her."
India is a nation, and is therefore agressive, despite the fact that they don't have the insanity of monotheism. And Bushie just cut them a big deal on nuclear (sic) development . . .
I recently learned that Hinduism is said to be a "supernatural" religion, as opposed to the more utilitarian nature religions. Strange.
