Default Pakistan goes ape

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071230/...city_paralyzed

The scariest thing about this is that these fruitcakes have nukes.

I have a feeling that the situation in Pakistan will get worse before it gets better.

No. Not an implosion. The government there will not allow that to happen. Possibly more anarchy and lawlessness before the government uses martial law and force over the people. This is when things will get worse for Pakistan.

Pakistan could suffer various extents of chaos for months or years.

Goes??? That would imply they weren't ape before.

No bigger country of America/West/Infidel hating nut bags on the planet.

I can't help but think Pakistan is how The Lord punishes people who pray to a false God.

A bigger gem i've not seen on PhillyBlog in a while.

You must really sleep well every night thinking how "God" is always on your side and that you're going to some sweet-jesus "heaven."

Karachi has often been in the grip of such violence, specially between various ethnic groups. This is not a new phenom, allbeit this time its because of a leader's murder. The local party that often controls government there is made up of Muslims who emigrated to the newly-formed Pakistan from India's bifurcation in 1947. The "local" Muslims never got along with these newcomers and thus all the fights.

I don't think the nukes are about to fall in the hands of some anti-American mullah. They're safe and secure within Pakistani military's command. Unless there is a coup and a rabidly-Muslim general takes over, you don't have to worry about such violence there. I don't know how else to put it. There is probably more "lose nukes" in FSU.

I wouldnt be surprised if some of our ICBM's are already targeted at Pakistan just as a precaution.

It's not a question of God being on my side, it's the point that I'm on His side. Your statement displays your astonishing ignorance of even the most basic concepts of Christianity, so you might do well to avoid opining on it.
I can see what His Blessings and teachings/values have bestowed on the west and that there isn't a muslim country on the planet that isn't a festering stink-hole of violence, corruption, and tyrany.
But I guess in your world, all things, cultures, and religions are equal, huh?
