You may find it surprising but along with majority of Indians I am actually rooting for Musharraf going down.

Wow. Shilling for Iran on FR. Welcome newbie.

“Shia Iran has had 9 presidential election since 1979 and 7 parliamentary elections.”

Without the word FREE elections they are worthless. Without a FREE press they are worthless. Within the existing mulluhcracy they are worthless.

Pakistani forces have killed a rebel cleric and more than 50 Islamist militants after 15 hours of fighting in the compound of an Islamabad mosque to end a week-long siege.

There was no immediate word on the fate of women and children he was said to have used as human shields.

At least eight soldiers were killed in the operation, bringing the number of dead to about 60 in total.

“Ghazi was surrounded by the militants who did not let him surrender and he was killed in the crossfire,” Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema said...

"Ghazi was surrounded by the militants who did not let him surrender and he was killed in the crossfire"

Can't you just see Ghazi saying, "Okay guys, time to surrender, I was just boasting about the dying part." (To late Ghazi)

chuckle...
