Musharaff resigns as Pakistani president

After the US-propped “democratic” elections, the victorious Islamist parties hunted down General Pervez Musharaff. Yesterday, they threatened Musharaff with impeachment and prosecution unless he resigns – which he did.
For years, General Musharaff was the only guarantor of Pakistani nuclear weapons, approximately 53 nuclear bombs, some of them stored in Saudi Arabia in exchange for Saudi financing of the Pakistani nuclear program. Even despite Musharaff’s efforts, the A.Q.Khan proliferation ring supplied nuclear technology to Libya, North Korea, Iran, and many others.
Now that General Musharaff is no more, the Pakistani nuclear threat greatly exceeds the Iranian one. Unlike the relatively civilized and conservative Persians, Pakistanis are semi-nomadic, highly irresponsible, and fervently Islamist. The single most popular person in Pakistan is Osama Bin Laden, and Pakistan’s border regions are home to Taliban and other ultra-fundamentalist Muslims who will now get hold of the Pakistani nuclear weapons.
