Panic Room

A movie worth its admission fee penny for penny, cent for cent is "Panic Room": Jodi Foster's thrill-a-nanosecond, edge-of-the-seat portrayal of a woman with a diabetic kid under siege chronicles every shade of emotion (terror) changing color like autumn leaves.

Mushhead and mushroom - Nukistan won't live to celebrate its victory
dawn.com
NEW DELHI, April 6: President Pervez Musharraf has "threatened India with the atom bomb" in the event of war over Kashmir whose "blood runs in our hearts", he was quoted on Saturday as telling Germany's Der Spiegel magazine.

Indian news reports quoted the magazine as saying that Gen Musharraf condemned "India's great power illusion" and told "India to count on the fact that if the pressure on Pakistan becomes too great, then nuclear weapons use (is possible) as a last means of defence".
But Vajpayee, during a trip to Simla last month had told journalists that "India had already declared that it would not be the first to use nuclear weapons and Pakistan has also expressed similar views."

Fool's democracy in Pakistan
Pervez's perverted democrazy run by RiffRaffs and Mushheads

The general's call for referendum is another blow to pakistan's fragile moribund shadow democracy now waiting to die. The generals have been fooling the world and the people of pakistan with phrases like "genuine democracy, real democracy, basic democracy and controlled democracy." The general is not interested in establishing a democratic political system in pakistan that will survive his own pettiness and power hunger. Instead, he is building a system that is centered around him rather than an idea, that is democracy and should outlast him. When a petty military officer rises to the rank of a general and grabs power with the collusion of his colleagues, self-preservation and self-perpetuation are the only reasons for the call for a referendum.

Cohen doesn't see much in the way of progress in the political system in pakistan that will be nurtured by this referendum
