Well, thats the end of that little welcome her celebration....Blasts hit Bhutto Karachi convoy
Several blasts have been heard near the motorcade carrying Pakistani ex-PM Benazir Bhutto, during her triumphant homecoming after eight years in exile.
Mrs Bhutto was on her way from Karachi airport to a homecoming rally when the explosions took place.
Initial reports suggest Mrs Bhutto was not injured in the blasts, but at least one vehicle in the motorcade was damaged and several people were hurt.
Hundreds of thousands of people had turned out to greet the former PM.

Welcome her. And I'm not surprised, the Islamic movements in that country hate her guts and consider her a western plant.

And yeah, Pakistan seems like it had the vague possibility of imploding in the near future.... And they already have nukes. Brilliant
Just as well we have all those troops nearby, eh?

Well, worst comes to worst, India also has nukes plus a lot of very educated, intelligent people, and most of Pakistan's population is based around the Indus River valley to the south and a few cities in the north.
So long as the Pakistanis with fingers on the nuke buttons are people who are sane enough to realize that if they do anything, India flattens them, the country remains. But if the Islamists take over and get ahold of the nukes...well, probably 150-160 million people will die just in their own country. I don't know enough about Pakistan's delivery systems to figure out what damage they could do to others.
