Just in case any of the rest of you turned your backs…
The past couple of days have been busy with quite a chunk of our extended family getting together and a small remembrance of my father on the occasion of what would have been his 73rd birthday. It was so busy that I did not have the occasion to even open my laptop, let alone make my normal rounds of the news and blog sites. That’s how I missed until this morning the news that former Pakistani Prime Minister Bhutto has been assassinated.
My sympathies are extended to Ms. Bhutto’s family and friends, as is my utter contempt for the swine who ordered and executed the attack. This event has thrown Pakistan into chaos, a condition no one needed, given Pakistan’s role in the GWOT. Given that they’re also a nuclear power…. well, it’s just not good.
I need time to learn more but I wanted to pass this along to any of the rest of you who, like me, may have had other things taking up your time.

I turned on the news this AM to discover this.
Very unsettling. I really hope that the Pakistani hardliners did not do this. It had better have been terrorists, as they’ve indicated.
