Or, more likely, the bombing was perpetrated by the same Islamist militants that are lobbing RPGs at American forces in Pakistan and beheading journalists. Militants like the Harkat ul Mujahadeen who have a vital interest in driving a wedge between the Musharef regime and the West. BUT, just as in the case of Danny Pearl's murder, it will drive Pakistan CLOSER to the West, and ACCELERATE the liquidation of radical militant Islam in Pakistani and Afghan politics.

The bombing was aimed at a busload of Westerners in front of a hotel full of Westerners. THAT was the message being sent. The fact that this act will push the heretofore neutral France furthur into line with America, strengthen the resolve of the Musharef regime, and alienate those sympathetic elements of the Pakistani military left for spiking a pet project (their subs) seems to have eluded them.

And you.
