So you haven't gotten any of the news about the demonstrations in Pakistan against Musharraf's rule;

My understanding was that immediately after the imposition of martial law, there were virtually no demonstrations. A week or so later the "opposition" finally got organized and started some protests. I have no idea what the general public over there wants. I think the return of Bhutto is just weird - didn't she leave years ago because she was going to get tossed in jail on corruption charges? If you have some idea how popular (or not) Musharaf is, do you have any comparable numbers for Bhutto? I think she gets on TV a lot because there is no other major political figure, not due to any popular support like Aung Su Kyi has in Burma or Nelson Mandela had in South Africa.

But who knows?
