Excerpt -

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif stepped up his attack on President Pervez Musharraf at a rally of protesters outside the presidency on Saturday, suggesting he could be hanged.

"We asked you (Musharraf) to quit with honour after the election but you didn't," Sharif told the crowd. "Now people have given a new judgment for you... they want you to be held accountable."

The crowd, running into several thousands, chanted "hang Musharraf" as it listened to the two-time former PM's fiery speech. "Is hanging only for politicians?" said Sharif, referring to former PM Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, hanged by a military dictator in 1979. "These blood-sucking dictators must be held accountable."

These Indians are amateurs. Only the Italians know how to do it right; they hung Mussolini, AND his girlfriend, upside down.

These guys are Pakistanis, not Indians.

And they know how to hang people. Just to the west in Kabul, Najibullah was hanged and mutilated and dragged around behind a pickup truck.

And these are the people our next president will have to deal with. Will we give asylum to Musharif or see him hanged?
