This is the sort of irresponsible blather that sparks riots in Pakistan. People may die because of her reckless speculations.

" People may die because of her reckless speculations."

Gonna be hard to tell- people are dying there now regardless, and Musharraf will likely be soon.

Riots are nothing, riots are the best case outcome. She may have alienated far more powerful forces. For example, imagine this scenario:

(A meeting of several high placed generals, deep inside ISI headquarters)

Chairman: "Your word, General Ali, concludes this emergency council."

Ali: "I think we have no better choice."

Chairman: "It has been decided, then." and heavily crosses something on the sheet of paper in front of him. CIA still does not know what that was, and will not know it until the decision is implemented. It will be too late.

Scary it is that all candidates now must behave presidentially for the good of the nation. Stupid off the cuff remarks just aren't acceptable in foreign relations, and all candidates' voice is very well heard in all countries. I can safely guess that many of those foreign heavyweights are smarter than an average candidate here; when they hear something they remember it. Unfortunately many of today's candidates spew words that they do not understand, since local voters have no memory, as it seems.
