Imran Khan chills out in Mumbai

Pakistan may be on the boil following the assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto yet cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan finds time to relax.

Imran is in Mumbai on a personal visit.

Imran, at a press conference in Mumbai, had expressed concerns that 'people have lost faith' in Musharraf and 'nobody is safe in Pakistan.'

"Who will now address a political rally? Who will come to attend the rally? A recent survey said 80 per cent of the Pakistani people want Musharraf to step down but he refuses to leave his post," he had said.

#6 If I were Musharraf, I'd stop all rail travel, and close all banks until the pervs had been fingered/turned in, and arrested, let's see you riot and starve at the same time. (Damn hard to do)
The shoot-on-sight order is long overdue, I sincerely hope other nations follow suit.

#7 Take a good look, folks. This is what will happen in a Paleostain state. Scrap the da$$$$ abomination, and start over. India should also take Bangladesh. At least the Indian engineers are competent, and would be able to stop SOME of the annual flood damage.
