Why be diplomatic? It is beyond extremism - now it is religious terrorism, no less. It is the dumb people of Pakistan who fell foir the mulla crapcracy at the masjid and madrissa and street corner. The leaders, whether dictator or not, just took advanatage of the Islamic fanatism stoked.
Musharraf did go crazy in the last two years of his power and played into the hands of fate.
The death of BB, however corrupt she was, sounded the deathknell for Pakistan; the ascent if Zardari is at the same time a penultimate nail and early start to punishment to Pakistan.
Next time anyone utters some Islamic bravado, they better not be in my reach.
