| Quote: | "We have conducted 23 polls all over the Muslim world, and this is the most disturbing one we have conducted," said Ken Ballen, the group's head. "Pakistan is the one Muslim nation that has nuclear weapons, and the people who want to use them against us -- like the Taliban and al Qaeda -- are more popular there than our allies like Musharraf."
The poll was conducted for Terror Free Tomorrow by D3 Systems of Vienna, Virginia., and the Pakistan Institute for Public Opinion. Interviews were conducted August 18-29, face-to-face with 1,044 Pakistanis across 105 urban and rural sampling points in all four provinces across the nation. Households were randomly selected.
According to poll results, bin Laden has a 46 percent approval rating. Musharraf's support is 38 percent. |
Does this bother anyone? It bothers me a lot. Are we going to continue worrying about Iran?

Unfortunately Kizz - we have to worry about many nations at the same time. Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, N. Korea, Pakistan, Russia, etc etc.

It worries the fuck out of me. Seeing that my husband is sitting pretty in Afghanistan and things are getting fucking terrible so close to him. Pakistan is bad news.

There have been people preaching this for such a long time--I wasn't listening, many weren't listening.
