  2. Yes, a sad moment for democracy per se. obvious perpetrator is Mussaraf - as after killing Bhutto, US will not have any alternative but support him as they can not afford a nuclear power to go in fanatic hands. It was a well laid trap.

    What for India – this is a start for disintegration of Pakistan. They will be busy solving there own problems and we might get less terrorist exported by them.

    Another possibility is they might start a war with India to divert attention as always done by Pakistan in past. If they do this it will be a last nail in there coffin – Remember Bangladesh (but do we have a Indera Gandhi)………..
